Introducing Two New Fishing Knots: The Caylor Knot and the Tailor Knot
In the world of fishing, a strong and reliable knot can make all the difference between landing your catch and watching it swim away. With that in mind, we're excited to introduce two brand-new fishing knots designed to meet the needs of anglers across different fishing styles: the Caylor Knot and the Tailor Knot. Whether you’re fishing with heavier lines or dealing with delicate tippets, these knots offer unique advantages that could make them your new go-to choices on the water.
The Caylor Knot: Versatility and Strength
The Caylor Knot is a versatile and strong knot designed for attaching hooks, lures, or swivels to your fishing line. It’s ideal for general fishing applications, offering a reliable connection that holds up well under pressure.
Key Features:
Double Loop Design: The Caylor Knot starts with a double loop through the eye of the hook or lure, adding extra security and friction to prevent slippage.
Spiral Wraps: The knot incorporates several spiral wraps around the standing line, ensuring even tension distribution and reducing the risk of line breakage.
General-Purpose Use: This knot works well with medium to heavy fishing lines, making it a great choice for bass fishing, saltwater applications, or any situation where strength is key.
How to Tie the Caylor Knot:
Double the line and pass it through the eye of the hook or lure twice, creating a loop.
Wrap the loop around the standing line 4-6 times, forming a spiral pattern.
Pass the loop back through the original loop near the eye.
Moisten the knot and pull it tight, ensuring the wraps cinch down smoothly.
Trim the excess tag end.
The Tailor Knot: Precision for Fine Lines
The Tailor Knot is specifically designed for fine or ultralight fishing lines, making it an excellent choice for fly fishing or ultralight spinning setups. This knot prioritizes a secure connection with minimal slippage, which is essential when working with delicate lines.
Key Features:
Double Loop for Fine Lines: Like the Caylor Knot, the Tailor Knot begins with a double loop, but it’s specifically tailored for thinner lines that require extra friction to hold securely.
Multiple Wraps: The knot includes 6-8 wraps around the standing line, providing a high level of grip and minimizing the risk of slippage.
Compact and Secure: The Tailor Knot is small and neat, ensuring that it doesn’t interfere with the presentation of a fly or delicate lure.
How to Tie the Tailor Knot:
Double the line and pass it through the eye of the hook or fly twice.
Create a small loop with the tag end and wrap it around the standing line and loop 6-8 times.
Pass the tag end through the small loop near the eye.
Moisten the knot, then slowly pull the standing line to tighten.
Trim the tag end close to the knot.
When to Use Each Knot
Caylor Knot: Use this knot when you need a strong, general-purpose connection that works with a variety of line types and sizes. It’s ideal for bass fishing, inshore saltwater fishing, or any scenario where strength and reliability are paramount.
Tailor Knot: Opt for the Tailor Knot when fishing with fine lines, such as when fly fishing or using ultralight tackle. Its design ensures a secure hold without compromising the delicate nature of the line or presentation.

Both the Caylor Knot and the Tailor Knot offer unique advantages that address common challenges faced by anglers. Whether you’re looking for a knot that excels with heavy lines or one that handles the finesse of ultralight setups, these knots are designed to meet your needs. By adding the Caylor Knot and Tailor Knot to your arsenal, you can increase your versatility on the water and improve your chances of success.
