10 Knots You Must Know
You don't have to be a knot-tying genius to catch fish. But it sure helps to know the basics.
 1. Albright Special Knot
This knot was made famous by the well-known Florida guide Jimmy Albright, and is worthy enough to bear his name. It's an excellent knot for tying light test to heavy line. It also can be used to connect line to wire cable, nylon-coated wire, and even to small diameter single-strand wire leader.

Interesting Marlinspike information!
This one looks simple enough to remember. Let me give it a shot.
I've used this one before and it works but its not a good choice if your in a hurry. Fishn time is too precious.
Woops. I assumed that my comments would corespond to the knot that I was looking at. My bad.
The Albright knot looks like a nice simple one. I've used the blood knot and it works OK. Sometimes the knot is a little bigger than I'd like and it takes a little time.
I use a blood knot to use two hook rigs by leaving both tag ends long , maybe 6-8 inches and tie a snell knot at each tag end or use one end as a drop sinker using split shots .especially useful for trout fishing in rocky streams.If weights snag up , just pull a little , split-shots slip off and you still have hook/lure to re-weight.
I think I'm going to print each of the knot instructions out, laminate the sheets and keep it in my tackle box.
Huntforit....that actaully isnt such a bad idea. I think i will do the same.
these knots are ok im sher thay would hold strong but only easy one that i can do is the palomar knot.
If you wanna learn the knots, practice them a few times. You can stare at them for hours and it won't do half as much good as tying them a few times quick.
