Saltwater fish have razor-sharp, bone-crushing teeth that can shred a leader, tippet, or knot in no time. Between their teeth and the enormous strength and speed of these fish, the use of well-constructed knots is a must. In this book, Notley shares 47 knots sure to keep fish on your line, including: 15 knots for joining lines; 9 for attaching lines to flies and 5 for loops; 8 loop knots; 10 super braid line knots. With the same clear illustrations and instructions of his other knot books, Notley provides saltwater anglers with all the knots they need to keep fish on the line.
