Why would you want to use a Bimini Twist fishing knot? The primary purpose of a Bimini Twist Knot is to provide a loop to loop connection between your backing and the end of your fly line. This is a 100% strength knot and is absolutely necessary when you’re fishing for anything larger than a 6wt. The Bimini Twist is infamously scary and in a future reel I can hopefully show you just how simple it really is. | Mad River Outfitters
