Member Blog

This Blog is a members only web site blog. You have access to the first blog put in just as a sample to what the web site is about. When you join you can post your own blogs ask questions and even post pictures. Please reveiw the rest of the site, making sure to check out the video section. This is the first month lure that every member will receive then the member just jumps in and gets the next lure in the rotation. At beyond Bait and Bobber we check out tried and true lures and all the newest on the market. We feature them monthly then send you the featured selection. What you can access without becoming a member is limited on purpose so enjoy what you can sample then become a member and reap the benefits of becoming a better angler. The website is way more than just this blog section.

The synch knot: used mainly to secure a lure or hook to your line or leader

This is an easy knot to tie:
1.) Pass the line through the eye of the hook or lure
2.)wrap this line (tag end) around the main line above the eye 5 times
3.)pass the tag end through the loop just above the eye
4.)then pass it through the loop created during step 3
5.) wet your line in the area around the knot
6.) pull the tag end and the main line while holding the hook or bait and the knot should synch down to the top of the eye.
7.) cut tag end tight to the knot

This is a very simple knot to tie and is strong enough for most fishing situations.

The Pulmar Knot: Used mainly to secure a lure or hook to your line or leader

This also is an easy knot which is stronger than the synch knot. You will also need to learn how to tie this knot to drop-shot fish. This is a technique that will be shown during your Beyond Bait and Bobber membership.

1.) Pass the line through the eye of your bait or hook twice, creating a tag end on the same side as your main line and a loop on the other side of the eye of the hook or lure
2.) tie a square knot using the loop created in step one (Making sure to leave the loop long enough to be able to pass the hook or lure through)
3.) pass the hook or lure through the loop
4.) wet your line in the area around the knot
5.)pull both the main line and the tag end while holding the lure or hook until the knot tightens down to the top of the eye
6.) Cut the tag end tight to the knot

These are two very simple basic knots I use while fishing. During your experience with Beyond Bait and Bobber I will try to share things that make my fishing experience a little easier and more fun. Please share your shortcuts or ideas with other members through this service and see what you can learn from fellow members. Tight Lines, Mike
