One of the first knots to learn is the spool knot it is a simple knot and the best way to tie the line to the reel spool
The Blood Knot
1. Overlap the ends of two lines. Take one end and twist it four times around the other line. Take it back and pass it between the two lines.
2. Repeat with the other end, make sure the first stage does not unravel.
3. Lubricate the knot, pull tight and trim.
Spade End Whip
1. Double end of line along shank. Loop fee end around line and hook.
2. Perform six turns with free end and pass through doubled loop.
