First, feed the end of the line through the eye of your hook or jighead.
Then with the tag end, wrap 4-5 turns around the main line.
Once you complete the wraps, put the tag end through the initial loop that you created above the eye of the hook or jighead.
Then, take the tag end and pull it back through the second loop that forms.
Pull the knot tight and cinch it all the way down.
Cut the tag end and you’ve got a friction knot snugly tied to your hook or jighead.

Is this the best knot for leader to swivel? I couldn’t find that in your list of best knots…
This knot works with braided?
Sure does Michael! If it’s thin braid like 10lb I might do 1-2 more wraps however
Thanks Richard! My uncle taught me the improved clinch knot when I was a kid. I practiced tying it so much that even after years of not using it I can bust it out without hardly thinking. Always great to have a SS video to double check ones work though. 👊🏻
It’s definitely one of my go to’s Joel!
i use a double davy when i need a quick, small knot. would be interested in the strength of the improved clinch vs double davy
