How to Tie a Bowfishing Arrow Slide Knot
Tying a bowfishing arrow slide knot can be tricky — whether it’s your first time doing it or your hundredth time.
Regardless of your skill level, we’ll give you easy step-by-step instructions on how to safely and securely tie a bowfishing arrow slide knot.
Once you learn this simple 10 step process – you’ll be a bowfishing arrow knot pro in no time!
Let’s dive in.
Step 1:
Take the end of the bowfishing line that’s attached to your bowfishing reel and feed it through one side of the bowfishing arrow slide.
Step 2:
Push the line back through the opposite side of the bowfishing arrow slide.
Step 3:
Pull approximately 10-12 inches of bowfishing line through the slide.
Step 4:
Take 2 fingers and place them approximately 3-4 inches from the arrow slide. From there, wrap both lines around your 2 fingers to create a 2 string loop.
Step 5:
Take that pinched loop and spin it counterclockwise 180 degrees – one time. This step is super important as you are creating the twist in the loop/bowfishing line that’ll become the knot in the next couple of steps.
Step 6:
Take that twisted loop and slide it down over the bowfishing point and down along the whole arrow shaft, over the slide, slide stop, and arrow nock.
Step 7:
Once you’ve slid that twisted loop off the back side of the nock – you’ll see the loose knot you’ve created. Go ahead and pull that loose knot tight.
Step 8:
Give each string an extra tug or two to make sure that the knot is super tight. Now you should have a knot that’s approximately 3-4 inches off of your slide. That spacing allows the slide to move freely up and down the bowfishing arrow when it’s shot.
Step 9:
Cut any remaining loose line that is hanging off of the slide knot you just tied.
Step 10:
Hit the water and wreck some fish!
