Then all that remains is to cut the tag end off neatly, and he has an awesome-looking bimini twist.
Michael however just creates his 25 twists and secures it with a granny knot before doing a 7 flag around both legs, holding onto the knot at twit-end and then unwinding the flag loop at the bottom before pulling the whole thing super tight. So most guys say you just hitch the thread between the “legs” of the knot/loop and then do a reverse knot pulling up into the twists – like a reverse unit pulled up tight back into the bimini. Now, the purpose of finishing up your bimini twist is to secure the twists and keep the knot from coming apart. Michael keeps his bimini short, starting off with about half a meter’s worth of doubled line and then doing 25 twists with mono. For spectra-type braided line, they say you can start with as many as 60 twists.
BIMINI TWIST SERIES
Most guys say you do around 20–30 twists with nylon mono line, starting with about 30cm of doubled line and doing your twists and pulling it in until you have a neat series of twists. Or you might recall that he was awarded as the top junior angler at the Shelly Beach Ski-Boat Festival back in 2017 at Shelly Beach Ski-Boat Club. You might remember him best as part of the SGDSAA junior team who took fourth place at the 2016 Junior Nationals.

Here is South Gauteng angler Micheal Joubert making a bimini twist…. You’ll definitely use it when offshore trolling or sportfishing for sure. Or even for connecting your lines loop-to-loop. Since you’re creating a very strong loop at the end of the line, it’s great for tying on your leader.
BIMINI TWIST HOW TO
And Michael shows how to do an excellent bimini twist using 25 knots. Now, old anglers will say you need somewhere between 20 and 60 twists for this knot, depending on your line. The loop sits at the end of a long barrel of coiled line that you create while tying the knot (the twist part) and is itself stronger than your actual line – this is one of the rare knot types that doesn’t damage or weaken your line.
The bimini twist is a knot that helps you create a strong loop at the end of your line to make a double-line leader.
