Tying the King Sling Knot

Designed to add more action to artificials or allow live baits to swim more freely, the king sling uses a series of twists in the leader to create a loop at the eye of a hook or lure. Best used with line testing 20 pounds or less, the knot creates a strong connection for light-tackle anglers. When tying the king sling, always be sure to make a long tag end to accommodate the formation of the loop.
