According the Geoffrey Budworth, the Ground-line Hitch is often used by fishing trawlers on their nets for catching cod. The US Cavalry also adopted this knot to tie their horses to a picket line.The Knot gets it’s name because it is often attached to the ground-line, a weighted rope that is on the bottom of a fishing net. One of the problems to be aware of with the Ground-line Hitch is that it does not behave well if the rope is swinging.

Very nice. As well as being a clove hitch alternative, it would seem to me to be a Constrictor Knot alternative, also. At least, it made my finger turn purple when I used the poor digit in lieu of a fancy practice bar like ol' Johnny Debt has.

Oh the truckers hitch................... The problem I have with that one, is that there are so many variations. Having said that though, there is one that I really like and I could do a video on that at a later date. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

I'm trying to figure out whether the spar hitch performs equally well in either direction, would you happen to know? Unlike the clove hitch, I think the spar hitch is not symmetrical. And the reason I'm asking is that I think I figured out how to tie it on the bight, in the air, in a way that can be slipped over a pole - but I don't know if it has to be in a particular direction :)

@KnottingKnots

Certainly the clove hitch does come undone when pulled in the wrong direction. I wonder if the Adjustable Grip Hitch would be a better option?

@@KnottingKnots My assumption was that when tying a clove hitch "in the air" so you could pass it over a pylon, it didn't matter how you tie it .... overhand, underhand, right over left, left over right, whatever, as long as it was a proper clove hitch it would perform equally well (or poorly). I'm trying to figure out if that's the same for the spar hitch.... At this point I'm thinking that it's not. not knot. who's there.

@@stephanddd Sorry misunderstood, I personally find that a clove hitch if static and under a constant load, works exceptionally well. Perhaps the ground line is just a little more secure because of the crossings.

How do make a longer globe knot and where can I get a jig for making it

The problem with having a jig is that you still need the formula to make the more complicated ones. I can give you the measurements of my jigs if interested?
