Fishing Knots and Rigs - Arbor Knot

Name: Arbor Knot
Difficulty: Easy
Uses: Attaching fishing line to the reel (spool)

The arbor knot is most often used to connect line to the spool. I have used this knot exclusively for this job since I was a boy and I have never had a problem with it. It is very easy to tie and really doesn't require much of a learning curve.
