A complete guide to the knotless knot

The knotless knot is by far the most popular knot for hair rigging all manner of baits. Here I show you my adapted version which is ultra strong and will last longer before the need for it to be replaced.

The standard knotless knot has a single strand of mono as the hair itself which after a few fish can become damaged or kinked and has to be replaced. My version however has a doubled up hair making it ultra strong and ultra durable.

See the simple step by step guide below to learn how to tie this super efficient rig for yourself and make your rigs last longer!

Step 1

Thread a quick stop on to the chosen hooklengh material and then tie a simple double over hand loop. I make this loop roughly just over the length of the hookbait and the hook shank combined as this will give the the perfect length hair rig once the rig is completed.

Step 2

The second step is to take a push stop needle and insert it into the quick stop as shown above

Step 3

Simply push the push stop via the needle through the pellet or drilled boilie hookbait to leave the chosen bait (in this case 2 small drilled pellets) resting against the quick stop.

Step 4

Thread the line through the eye of the hook going from back to front as shown in the photo above.

Step 5

Make several turns with the line around both the hair and the shank of the hook until almost level with the hook point. Pinch the line at this point so that the knot doesn't unravel.

Step 6

Take the end of the hook length and again go through the eye of the hook from back to front. Moisten the knot with saliva and slowly pull down tight until you are left with the perfect hair rig as shown in the photo above.
