It is not easy to tie knots that heavy but you might be able to use one of the following but only one loop knot

(1)

Crawford

(2)Perfection loop knot but never used it with anything over 80 lbs

(3) plain clinch knot

)

Good Luck with the YFT

I use the clinch or half blood knot. You should have at least about 25kg knot strength with 100lb line. As long as your not using hard fluorocarbon it will tie easily. I use Moimoi, Jinkai or Black Magic.

Also, make sure it has a good size (split) ring on it and tie around the part where the wire is doubled over, not the single wire section. A few reasons for this. It keeps the knot away from the sharp edges of the wire. It will stop the ring unwinding under pressure and the thicker section makes a stronger knot.

There's also "how to tie knot" section at the top of this forum. Set by step easy guide.

Another Knot to try if you can look it up is the Commercial Knot. Basically its 4 loops over the thumb and back through the loops. The Commercial guys use it for their hooks on the long lines. Its quick, simple and strong
