Bight (knot) be used in situations where the ends of the rope are inaccessible, such as forming a fixed loop in the middle of a long climbing rope. Many knots normally tied with an end also have a form which is tied in the bight (for example, the bowline and the bowline on a bight). In other cases, a knot being tied in the bight is a matter of the method of tying rather than a difference in the completed form of the knot. For example, the clove hitch can be made "in the bight" if it is being slipped over the

Other techniques when performing a figure eight include a speed burst, where lure speed is increased dramatically, and dead-sticking, where the lure is completely stopped in the water (not good with bladed baits). A long rod is superior for the figure-eight technique; it allows a bigger and deeper figure-8
