No-knot knot

[misterrun]

Something I read recently, was someone advising someone else to use a "no-knot knot" as opposed to a knotless knot, due to the hair on a knotless knot twisting and kinking.

 

Can anyone tell me what a no-knot knot is, and is it correct about the twisting?

 

 

On second thoughts, is that the knot like a knotless knot but you put the end back through the eye of the hook and "blob" the end of the line?

When tightening down on the knotless knot, the hair often gets pulled around the shank of the hook. but with a little fiddling, i don't see this as a problem

Knotless knot has never failed me yet. And if the hair gets a bit scruched up or twisted, remake it! only takes a few mins

If you have any problems with the hair twisting then when you tie the "knot" then have a few turns below where the hair exits on the shank of the hook.

 

This twisting seems to be more apparent with mono's or fluoro's.

Thanks for the info on that everyone. But can anyone confirm if the "no-knot" knot is the one I was thinking of in the original thread, or is it some other style of knot?
