N List of Knot

Nail Knot: The Nail Knot is used to join two fishing lines of different diameter. It is used to join a leader, or tippet, to the fly line.

Bow Necktie: The Bow Tie, a striking necktie, gives the wearer a formal and elegant appearance. Usually black or white for formal wear, brighter colors are used on other occasions

Four-in-Hand Necktie: The Four-in-Hand is the most common Necktie Knot. Although it is tied quickly and conveniently, it makes a slightly asymmetrical knot.

Half Windsor Necktie: The Half Windsor is a neat, symmetrical Necktie Knot. It is tied fairly quickly and conveniently and makes a moderately bulky knot.

Pratt or Shelby Necktie: One of the simpler ties but starts with tie inside out. It makes an excellent symmetrical knot.

Windsor Necktie: The Windsor is a bulky, symmetrical Necktie Knot. Although it is tied less quickly and conveniently than the Half-Windsor or the Four-in-Hand, it does produce a pleasing, fuller appearance.

Sheet Bend (Becket Bend): The Sheet Bend joins two ropes of unequal size but also works well if the ropes are of the same size. It has to be tied with both ends loose in your hands with no load on the ropes.

Non-Slip Mono Knot: The Non-Slip Mono Knot forms a fixed loop and retains a very high proportion of the line's rated breaking strain.

Noose Knot: The Noose creates a loop in the end of a rope which tightens when pulled. This page also provides a link to the Slip Knot to help compare these two similar knots.
