The Arbor knot is a typical fishers' knot. Its primary use is to attach fishing line to the arbor of a fishing reel.
Tying an Arbor knot
An arbor knot is tied by first passing the line around the reel arbor. The tag end is then tied in an overhand knot around the running line. Finally, an overhand knot is tied in the tag end. When tightened, the overhand knot in the tag end jams against the overhand knot tied around the running line.
