How to Tie the Berkley Braid Knot

  1. Double the braid and pass the loop through the hook eye.

  3. With the doubled line, wrap around the standing line 8 times.
  4. Thread the doubled tag end through the double loop at the eye.
  5. Moisten and pull slowly to tighten. Trim excess.

Pros

  • Specifically engineered for braided line's slippery surface
