Giving the people what they want.

Practically every week someone visits our site hoping to learn how to tie a Lindeman Knot.

I feel like we've been letting these people down.

Therefore I am posting the following information for your knot-tying pleasure.

"The Lindeman knot is an excellent line to terminal knot and is best suited to light and medium diameter lines. It is easy to tie with some practice and retains a very good level of line strength too. The Lindeman Knot is one of Andy's favourites. It strength to size ratio is excellent and its easy to tie. It has little wear and suits straight, turned-up or down hook eye's and is also excellent for attaching swivels etc. The Lindeman knot works well on light, medium and some heavier lines. The limiting factor is often the doubling within the eyelet. Stiffer, heavier lines can be difficult to tie. The Lindeman knot is highly recommended and one we strongly encourage you to learn."

No, I don't know who Andy is, but take his word for it, the Lindeman Knot kicks ass.
