Knot for wire

[back on eerie 2016]

What knot do I use for wire to swivel connection? I was told just an overhand knot will do, but not sure

I crimp all my wire connections. I’ve been told that it’s a waste of time that an overhand knot is all you need. But I have the crimper and it looks so much neater so I’ll continue to crimp my wire connections. JMO.

I use a real easy and quick method. Knock on wood, haven't had one let go yet.

 

Loop wire. Run loop through swivel eye and bring swivel throu loop. Pull up tight. Make an over hand knot with tag end and cut tag end.

Nympho X2 ,  A half hitch on the swivel then square knot .  Easy to tie . Never lost a fish because of this knot.

I retie often to get rid of pigtail.

This is it, just a simple overhand knot.
