How to Spot a Failed Fishing Knot
Look for the Squiggly! 🎣
One of the most useful little tricks every angler should know:
When your knot fails, look for the **squiggly**. That loose, curly piece of line left behind is the clear sign your knot slipped or broke.
Quick tip: Spot the squiggly → stop fishing → retie immediately. It can save you lost lures, broken lines, and frustrated fish stories.
I’ve learned this one the hard way over the years. Now I check for it instantly and it’s saved me plenty of tackle.
