It has been said that an angler is only as good as the knot he ties.  How many knots do you know how to tie?  Maybe you know one or two knots extremely well, but with technology driven fishing lines your knot may not be strong enough or even hold at all.  One instructional DVD that anglers will find beneficial when learning how to tie new knots and rigs is Geoff Wilson’s Fishing Knots and Rigs Volume 1&2 (www.cardinalpub.com). 

The DVD is a two volume set.  Volume one covers popular knots that all anglers should know like a Blood Knot, Grinner, Common Snell, Fix Loop Knot, Leader Knot, Braid Snell, and thirteen other knots.  Volume two covers popular rigs used by angler when fishing including Tagless Dropper Loop, Loop to Loop Connections, Dacron Leader Splice, Spider Hitch, attaching fly line to a leader, running sinker rig, Improved Albright Knot and Nail Knots, Blood Bight Loop, and twelve other rigs.

Both DVDs show actually how it is done from a tiers perspective.  All of the knots are quick and easy to learn.  The DVDs cover need to know and popular knots used when fishing.  Remember, an angler is only as good as the knot he or she ties.
