Discover the Englishman’s Loop, a versatile and reliable loop knot perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, and hobbyists alike. In this week's Knot of the Week from Knotskool, we walk you step-by-step through how to tie the Englishman’s Loop—also known as the Fisherman’s Knot or True Lover’s Knot. Learn how this fixed, non-slip loop is formed, how to dress and back it up properly, and when to use it for maximum reliability. Whether you're into fishing, camping, bushcraft, or gardening, this knot is a must-know for any ropework toolkit.
We also explore the pros and cons of using the Englishman’s Loop with different rope materials—from high-friction natural fibers like hemp and cotton to slippery synthetics like nylon or spectra. Found in the Ashley Book of Knots as knot #1,143, this loop is perfect for attaching lures, creating leader lines, securing guy lines, and more. Subscribe for more practical knot-tying tutorials and become a master of ropework, one knot at a time.
