Uses: The Arbor Knor is used to attach the fishing line to the fishing reel, or "Arbor".

Tying it: The second overhand knot is essential. Some fishermen recommend winding the loop twice round the arbor before making the first half hitch. This increases the friction which may be useful on some of the more polished reels. After forming the knot, snug it down tightly around the drum.

Advantages: The Arbor knot is simple, easily learned and effective.
