I will show you how to connect the leader in an upcoming knot tutorial. Offshore guys use the spider hitch to double the line for knot strength and to help prevent bite offs.
Wow that's freakin cool! so, I live in a hotel Mon-Fri for work and I always bring 2 different types of fishing line just so I can practice, lol, I bet housekeeping is like "better stay away from this dude", lol, thanks for the video josh!!
This fishing Loop looks very good and great to use. But I'm with the last two inquiries about the purpose of this Loop. And I have read what you have said in response to the purpose. I guess I'm the only one who is still a little bit lost do you understand the concept for its purpose. Maybe and hopefully on your next video you can explain a little bit more with a visual demonstration. Thank you.
Thanks Wesley, it's primarily used by offshore fisherman for 100% knot strength and to create a double loop to help prevent bite offs. You use the spider hitch to conjoin braid and fluorocarbon/mono.
Salty Scales I like how you aren't like other youtubers who their viewers and subscribers aren't just number they are actual people to you You Also reply to a lot of people which most people don't do
looks like the knot is very close to 100% strength. nice demo going to Beaufort S.C this weekend..gonna try it on my Redfish rods. Thanks man! Ill drink a Bud Light on behalf of your buddy there on the boat! lol
This is for that day that you aren't a bass fisherman and go offshore, all jokes aside you can still use this knot to tie your leader on and just create a smaller loop. More clarification to come on the next knot video.
Hey Josh, great video.. Now so I am straight, this is not a knot used to connect braid with mono correct? Plus Im stil l pushing for a Ryan Romper video..lol
Thanks Rick, this is the knot to start the connect for braid and mono, the next knot tutorial will clarify for sure, I kind of left you all hanging on this one lol. The suspense!
Number one, Excellent presentation and most important is that everything you say is comprehensible .I will be following all your videos because I have so much to learn...
Josh, do you have a video on how to tie the shock leader to the spider hitch knot? I have tried several methods I found from other channels but they all slip under pulling pressures. I may have missed something in these videos. Please advise Dr D
OK Capt. Joshua, I watched this video when it came out. I watched the next installment with the "no name" knot and then came back to re-watch this one. You know me, I am confused. Why would you want such a large loop in the line? I just can't figure out what I am missing. Sorry Dude!
The offshore guys like it because in many instances the toothy fish such as the kings, wahoo etc... will attempt to eat the lead weight, in doing so they will cut the line. the double line sometimes prevents the complete cut off.
I probably should have mentioned it, this loop is created to double the line and connect to a mono leader. So when you are deep dropping and a toothy fish hits your sinker, swivel etc...it may prevent you from losing the fish all together by only cutting one line.

Salty Scales I was just gonna ask what this knot was used for lol thanks for all the videos I love these knot videos especially
Rob Martinez i was about to ask thr same thing, figured I'd read the comments first
Looks like the key was switching hands to pull the main line so the loops came off instead of pulling on the loop. Thx, great explanation.
You are welcome!
Always teaching thank you for taking time out your day to teach this great video as usual
+Gavin Argabright You're welcome, I enjoy teaching.
Definitely a alternative to the Bimini twist
Best demo yet. The other channels makes it seem so hard and also difficult to follow and different ways. Great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, I like the knot videos! 👍🏻
You're welcome!
It is super cool!
Spidey cool!

that's cool never heard of this before. What are uses for this knot

Wow I think this might be my new favorite knot!! Thanks captain Taylor!
It's a simply but strong one!
Awesome so leader line to main line= strong knot
This guy deserves so many more views and subscribers... he is very helpful and fun to watch
Thank you, I appreciate that very much bud.
Salty Scales I like how you aren't like other youtubers who their viewers and subscribers aren't just number they are actual people to you
You Also reply to a lot of people which most people don't do
Very cool video, looks fairly easy too! What species of fish would you use this knot for?
Thanks Stephanie, most offshore species. Lots of guys like this especially for jigging.
Nice bro keep it coming
Great info! Wish the video was a bit closer
Thanks for the feedback bud.
Great video Josh. As always very informative. Ps I got me my first baitcaster now I need a rod to go with.
Glad to hear, depends on how you plan on using it. Crankbait, spinnerbait, worm etc...
Salty Scales I think I'm going to use this one in fresh/brackish water. Maybe worms possibly jigs? All new to me.
looks like the knot is very close to 100% strength. nice demo going to Beaufort S.C this weekend..gonna try it on my Redfish rods. Thanks man! Ill drink a Bud Light on behalf of your buddy there on the boat! lol
There you go, I'll tell him you are doing so. Send us a redfish picture on Facebook.
First like and comment! 😎🎣
Thanks Daniel
Salty Scales thank you for such great content and informative videos! Keep up the great work!
Great video like always. but me being a bass fisherman, when can I use this not?
thanks in advance
This is for that day that you aren't a bass fisherman and go offshore, all jokes aside you can still use this knot to tie your leader on and just create a smaller loop. More clarification to come on the next knot video.
Is this knot useful in freshwater fishing, gonna use it next time I go saltwater fishing for black drum
You can use this for bass, just make the braid loop smaller and attached your leader which I will be discussing in the next tutorial.
Salty Scales cool thanks, I'll watch it when I get off work
now that's a great spider knot I'm going to try it out thanks a million my brotha
You're welcome Salvador, glad you liked it.
Josh.. what is this knot for?
I will do a follow up knot video to show you. Stay tuned.
I take it u can put a hook on it or a lead for bottom fishing
You could but most use the knot to conjoin their leader.
Hey Josh, great video.. Now so I am straight, this is not a knot used to connect braid with mono correct? Plus Im stil l pushing for a Ryan Romper video..lol
Thanks Rick, this is the knot to start the connect for braid and mono, the next knot tutorial will clarify for sure, I kind of left you all hanging on this one lol. The suspense!

Thanks Seymour, we try and focus on quality videos for our viewers. Welcome aboard!
That's cool bud I'm going have to try it out thanks for showing the difference knots out there they are very helpful bud
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
is this knot only for braided line?
This is for braid, yes sir!
Salty Scales thank you sir
Nice one Josh. I like how you showed Two Conchs doing it and then you broke it down for us. It seems simple enough! 👍
Yes sir, a different aspect, the follow up knot will be similar with clarification on the spider hitch.
Josh, do you have a video on how to tie the shock leader to the spider hitch knot?
I have tried several methods I found from other channels but they all slip under pulling pressures.
I may have missed something in these videos. Please advise

What's up
what's up
What is this used for??
So how would you tie the loop to a hook or jig head?
Hey how to use spider knot if i want to join 2 braid line together
Looks like you could use a nail knot tool for this
as the novice I am I have to ask.....why do anglers use a spider hitch?
Hey Norman, that is a fair question. I have a follow up video that should answer your questions about this hitch knot.
What is the purpose of the loop you create when making this knot?
I probably should have mentioned it, this loop is created to double the line and connect to a mono leader. So when you are deep dropping and a toothy fish hits your sinker, swivel etc...it may prevent you from losing the fish all together by only cutting one line.
