Tying An Arbor Knot
An arbor knot is tied by first passing the line around the reel arbor. The tag end is then tied in an overhand knot around the running line. Finally, an overhand knot is tied in the tag end. When tightened, the overhand knot in the tag end jams against the overhand knot tied around the running line.

Famous quotes containing the words tying and/or knot:
“The average parent may, for example, plant an artist or fertilize a ballet dancer and end up with a certified public accountant. We cannot train children along chicken wire to make them grow in the right direction. Tying them to stakes is frowned upon, even in Massachusetts.”
—Ellen Goodman (b. 1941)
“Separation’s fire
can be borne
when there’s a knot of hope,
but Mother,
when my love leaves home
and stays in the same village,
it’s far worse than death.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
