R List of Knot

Rapala Knot: The Rapala Knot provides an excellent connection between line and lure. It allows for a natural action as the loop does not grip the eye.

Rat Tail Stopper: The Rat Tail Stopper is a friction hitch which takes the load on a Mooring Line while it is transferred to the Bitts.

Square Knot (Reef): The Square, or Reef, Knot joins equal sized ropes, e.g., sail covers or a parcel. Never use it for human or other critical loads - it may spill into two Half Hitches and then slip. It is frequently tied wrongly as a "Granny Knot."

San Diego Jam Knot: The San Diego Jam Knot (or Reverse Clinch Knot) is popular with long range fisherman as an excellent, strong method of tying a lure to fishing line.

Water Knot: The Water Knot is used to join two pieces of webbing strapping. The wide area of contact between the two straps ensures a secure knot.

Rolling (Taut Line) Hitch: The Rolling Hitch secures a rope to another parallel rope. It is one of the few knots which can be tied and untied while there is a load and can be adjusted without it being untied. It can take the load while a rope is transferred or secured elsewhere.

Rope Care/Cleaning: Cleaning, washing, and care of ropes - particularly those used for climbing.

Marlinspike Hitch: The Marlinspike Hitch employs a stick or a spike to make a knot in a rope .

Grog Sling: The Grog Sling creates a loop using hollow braided rope. It employs a Brummel Splice and obviates the need for stitching.

Round Lashing: A Round Lashing is used to bind adjacent poles together.

Round Turn and Two Half Hitches: An excellent knot for securing a rope to a post or ring. The initial turns take the load, e.g., of a mooring line during docking. While one hand holds the strain, the knot is then tied with the other.

Running Bowline: The Running Bowline is identical to a normal bowline but is tied around the standing end so that it can slide, e.g., up to a tree branch.
