King Sling Knot

The King Sling knot is a loop knot that many anglers prefer to use when trying to impart more action on their baits and lures. The loop formed by the King Sling can be adjusted when the knot is tied, but the sizing of the loop can be tricky to get right. Tying the King Sling knot is fairly straightforward, and quite similar to the Surgeon’s Loop. After a loop is formed with a double line, several twists are made after which the terminal end is passed through the loop and cinched down. Despite being a loop knot which generally have poor line breaking strength, the King Sling knot has respectable strength when tied with the appropriate type of line, such as fluorocarbon leaders.
