Boa Fishing Knot

I am trying to learn how to tie a sliding/locking knot for a tandem
hook rig. Whereas the top hook is adjustable (you can slide it on the
main line) to match the bait size; however, when a strike occurs, it
locks. There is a company, Owner, which is marketing something similar
as the Boa Rig; nevertheless, I am very interested in learning how to
tie this knot myself.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thanks for the links, but the knot that I am interested in learning is
not on these links.

Try something like a prussic knot in one of its several incarnations
bearing in mind the prussic knot is usually tied with a line somewhat
thinner than the main line a prussic's main point is it will slip
either way while unloaded but grips and holds when under load its the
knot rock and mountain climbers use to ascend vertical ropes.

sorry if this no help best i could do

Sea Tiger,

Here is a suggestion for getting the results you want. I tried it out
using 30# test for the sliding component and 50# test for the main
line;

Using the 30# I tied a uniknot
http://www.in-fisherman.com/magazine...003Sp_Uniknot/
on the 50# main line finishing it by taking one or two half hitches
around the main line with the tag end of the uniknot. Leave what would
normally be the tag end long so as to be able to snell or tie your
hook to it. I was able to slide the knot up or down the main line by
grasping the uniknot and moving it, however, when pulling on just the
tag end (to which your hook would be tied) it locked up and wouldn't
move.

How this might test out for breaking strength, whether or not it will
work in line of different test or the high-test braids of today, I
don't know., but it does do what you want in my test.

A second thought is that maybe "Owner" is using the "Boa Knot", a form
of the strangler knot, as their secret weapon. It could work.

Can anyone direct me to an illustration of the trinity knot (using
actual rope or line not a drawing) on the Internet .

Thanks for any help you can offer.
