How to Tie a Trilene Knot
The Trilene knot was developed by Berkley for tying their Trilene monofilament line. It is a very strong knot when tied on light light, from 4 to 12lb test.
I find it works especially well on fluorocarbon line and leaders, preventing the knot from coming lose in the fight.
This knot is used to attach hooks, lures, flies, snaps, swivels and sinkers on fishing line.

Step 1.
Pull the line through the eye twice, forming a small loop and leaving about 5 inches of tag end.
Step 2.
Wrap the tag end around the standing line five to six times.
Step 3.
Bring the tag end back to thread it through the small loop next to the eye.
Step 4.
Moisten the line, and then pull the standing line to tighten. Clip off excess.
