TheTrilene knot/ˈtraɪliːn/is a multi purposefishingknotthat can be used for attachingmonofilament linetohooks,swivelsandlures.It resists slippage and failures.[1]The knot was apparently in use at least as early as 1975 when it was included inTom McNally's Complete Book of Fishermen's Knotsas the "double-looped clinch knot".[2]However, professional anglersJimmy Houstonand Ricky Green would later claim that they invented the knot in the late 1970s while experimenting during promotional events for Trilene, a fishing line manufacturer. Both men favored the idea of naming the knot after themselves, though Trilene ultimately applied its own name instead.[3]It's unclear whether Houston, Green or Trilene were aware of the knot's earlier invention or its prior inclusion in McNally's book.
