Konsep mengumpan ini sama seperti memancing dengan racun bertindak sebagai mata pancing. Biasanya umpan ialah ricihan isi kelapa sawit yang diuli dengan tepung atau roti yang dipenyek (diuli semula) dan kemudiannya dicampurkan dengan racun kimia berkenaan. Racun yang digunakan ialah dari kategori N-Methyl Carbamate yang dikenali amat toksid. Pelbagai jenis racun kimia dalam kumpulan ini dan jenis yang biasa digunakan ialah Carbofuran dan Methomyl. Ia berbentuk seperti garam masakan biasa. Mungkin di kalangan kita yang kurang arif dengan bahan kimia sebegini tertanya-tanya adakah benar bahan ini ada digunakan dan senang didapati. Jawapannya ialah ya... tetapi kita lebih biasa dengan jenamanya sahaja tanpa mengetahui nama kimia sebenar. Carbofuran (nama piawaian British, Amerika Syarikat dan ISO) selalunya kita kenali dengan Furadan dan racun ini selalunya ditabur ke dalam tanah ketika menanam bagi mengelak tanaman daripada dimakan ulat dan serangga perosak. Ada juga yang digunakan dengan cara semburan. Malangnya ada juga penanam sayur yang menggunakan racun ini sebagai gantian meracun semburan bagi memastikan sayur mereka subur. Konsep ini adalah salah kerana ia tidak disyorkan untuk tanaman usia singkat seperti sayur-sayuran. Bagaimanapun dalam konteks menuba ikan, ia kurang digunakan kerana ia bukan lagi pada keadaan aslinya. Ia amat berbisa dan boleh menyebabkan kematian seorang manusia dewasa dengan hanya termakan sekadar setengah gram (berat sebiji kacang soya). Methomyl pula lebih dikenali dengan nama dagangannya 'Lannate'. Racun ini sudah dihentikan penjualannya di negara ini tetapi ada di kalangan petani dan peniaga menyeludup masuk racun ini dari negara jiran. Ia sangat berbisa, sama dengan racun Carbofuran. Selalunya di sekitar tahun 1980an, racun ini sering digunakan untuk membunuh anjing liar dan sering kita rdengar aktiviti me'lanet' anjing di Klang dan sekitarnya.

Bimini Twist
Written By Tegarfishing Club on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 | 14:44
A short Bimini twist (up to five feet) can easily be accomplished by one person. To tie a Bimini twist longer than five feet takes two people, although it could be done alone with a lot of practice.
This knot is a 100% knot, meaning, it retains 100% or the original strength of the line being used.
Measure a little more than twice the length you will want for the double-line. Bring end back to standing line and hold together. Rotate end of loop 18 - 23 times, by twisting it.
Slowly spread the loop to slide twists together about 10" below tag end. You want to spread the lines evenly, keeping the same angle on each side, so they do not wrap on top on one another. Step both feet through loop and bring it up around knees so pressure can be placed on column of twists by spreading knees your apart. It is easiest to learn the knot with two people so one person can hold and spread the lines while the other person ties the knot. Bimini twists over 5 feet long really need two people to tie properly, unless you have 8' legs
With twists now snug together, hold standing line in one hand with tension just slightly off the vertical position. With other hand, move tag end to position at right angle to twists. Keeping tension on loop with knees, gradually ease tension of tag end so it will roll over the column of twists, beginning just below the upper twist. (as the line continues to spread apart the tag end will wrap back down over top of the twists.)
Spread legs apart slowly to maintain pressure on loop. Steer tag end into a tight spiral coil as it continues to roll over the twisted line. It take a practice, but avoid the twists jumping back over top. The twists should lay side by side and coil down nicely as shown to the right.
When spiral of tag end has rolled over column of twists, continue keeping knee pressure on loop and pinch the end of knot to keep it from unraveling. Put a finger in crotch of line where loop joins knot to prevent slippage of last turn. Now make a simple half-hitch with tag end around nearest leg of loop and pull up tight.
With half-hitch holding knot, release knee pressure but keep loop stretched. Using remaining tag end, take half-hitch around both legs of loop, but do not pull tight.
Make 2-3 more turns with the tag end around both legs of the loop, winding inside the bend of line formed by the loose half-hitch and toward the knot. Pull tag end slowly, forcing the loops to form in a spiral.
Moisten spirals and pull loops tight against main knot. Leave about 1/4" of a tag end when trimming. Keep practicing, it takes some time, but is a great knot worth the effort.
Braid Ring Knot
Slide the knot closed with gentle pressure on the main line, stroking the knot back periodically as you do so to keep the wraps in sequence. This prevents them bunching up as the knot closes.
Rapala Knot
Written By Tegarfishing Club on Monday, January 5, 2009 | 14:24
Essentially the same as the Non Slip Mono Loop, the knot has one more step in it’s making. Whether this makes it more secure is still up to debate.
It does make it slightly more difficult to tighten down neatly, but with practice can be done. You should know how to tie one or the other for the occasions that you want your bait to swim more naturally.
Reef Knot
For uniting the end of two ropes of similiar diametre, start the Reef Knot by crossing the ends, forming a simple overhand knot, then tying another reverse form of the overhand knot, so that both ropes emerge from the same side of the loops. Pull the two end at either side simultaneously to draw the knot together.
A flat knot, the Reef Knot is the solution where bulkiness in the rope join is undesirable.
Spider Hitch
The Spider Hitch is a fast, easy knot to create a double-line leader. Under steady pressure it is equally strong but does not have the resilience of the Bimini Twist under sharp impact.
It is not practical with lines above 15 kg test.
This is the only tricky part - hold this loop with thumb and forefinger, the thumb extending above the finger, and with the loop standing up beyond the tip of the thumb.
Wind the doubled line around the thumb and the loop 5 times. Send the rest of the long loop through the small loop, and pull gently to unwind the turns off the thumb.
Double Surgeon's Knot
Float Stop
The float fisherman uses a running float for casting and general handiness, and stops the float from running up the line by using the Float Stop.
It has the advantage that the stops moves readily over the rod guides, but grips the monofilament nylon so tightly that it will not slide over the line.
It should be made with about 12.5cm of nylon, usually the same diameter as the line itself.
Uni to Uni Knot
This particular knot is used for tying two pieces of line together or tying a monofilament leader to the new braided lines. When working with soft monofilament, braided lines tend to cut into the mono-line. This can be overcome or slowed down by using a loop for your free end on the braided line and then tying the same knot as shown below.
The single Uni-Knot is the basis for an entire knot tying system. Once the basic knot is learned, it can be used for everything from tying hooks to light line, to joining lines that vary by 10 times in test strength. It also provides 100 % knot strength in most of it's applications.
Albright Knot
Step 1
Bend a loop in the tag end of the heavier line and hold between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand.
Step 2
Slip the tag end of the lighter line under your left thumb and pinch it tightly against the heavier strands of the loop. Wrap the first turn of the lighter line over itself and continue wrapping towards the round end of the loop. Take at least 12 turns with the lighter line around the three strands.
Step 3
Insert the tag end of the lighter line through the end of the loop at the bottom. It must enter and leave the loop on the same side.
Step 4
With the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, slide the coils of lighter line towards the end of the loop, and stop 1/8 of an inch from the end of the loop. Using pliers, pull the tag end of the lighter line tight to keep the coils from slipping off the loop.
Step 5
With your left hand still holding the heavier line, pull on the standing part of the lighter line. Pull the tag end of the lighter line and the standing part a second time. Pull the standing part of the heavy mono and the standing part of the light line.
Trilene Knot
The knot's unique double wrap design and ease of tying constantly yeilds a strong, dependable connection. The breaking strength is very high for this knot; very close to 100% for some lines and diameters and almost always above 90%.
Step 1
Run end of line through eye of hook or lure and double back through the eye a second time.
Step 2
Loop around standing part of line 5 or 6 times. Thread tag end between the eye and the coils as shown.
Step 3
Tighten knot with a steady, even motion without hesitation. Trim tag end leaving at least 1/8 inch.
Step 4
The finished product. Do not cut the tag end too close. The knot has a tendency to untie itself after many casts
