The world's fair knot was created by Gary Martin and was selected by a panel of professionals as the best knot out of 498 entries in the great knot search at the 1982 world fair. This fishing knot is quick to tie, does not slip and is very strong. These features make the world's fair knot a very versatile and popular knot with many anglers. Most anglers use this knot with monofilament lines although, because it is well known for a lack of slipping, may also be tied in braided lines in some situations.
How to tie the world's fair knot
While this knot is fairly simple to tie it does take a some practice to perfect.
I wish someone would have told me about this knot back in 82!! I occasionally look for a better knot for an application, such as when the recent super slick braids came out, and my usual knots wouldn't hold. This baby not only always holds in all types of line & rope, but it's SOO easy compared to any other knot I've used.
