Bimini Twist

This knot creates a loop that will give 100 percent knot strength. It is tied at the tag end of the line to form a main connection that other line or tackle can be secured to. It may take a little time to perfect, but once mastered, it provides on of the most secure loops possible.

To Tie a Bimini Twist:

Double the line back against the standing part. Depending on the numbers of turns used, this knot will require a long length of line,
The first stage of this knot is best tied around a solid object. Take the line around the object and create the first turn, as shown.
Depending on the line you're using, make between 8 and 20 turns. Fifteen turns are recommended for regular monofilament.
It is very important to keep pressure on both the standing part and the tag end, to keep the turns as tight as possible.
Make approximately the same number of turns back over the original turns in the direction of the solid object.
At this point, remove the loop from the solid object, and create a holding knot with the tag end.
Still keeping pressure on the standing part and the loop, tighten the holding knot and bring the tag end out.
Holding the knot in the position shown, make a turn around the narrowed loop with the tag end.
Make four or five turns, and then pull slowly on the tag end to seat this series of turns back against the original turns.
With the second series of turns seated correctly, hold the loop and pull the standing part to finalize the knot. Trim the tag end.
