How to tie 2 Fly Lines Together
Fishing Knots: How To Tie A Blood Knot
Sharing buttons:
hi everyone today we are going to have a
look at the blood knot which is probably
one of the strongest ways to join two
fishing lines together you can see from
the compactness of the knot that we'll
be able to go through rod guides with a
minimum of interference which makes
casting virtually unrestricted so to tie
this one I'm just going to take those
two strands and I'm going to place this
right hand strand over the left and I'm
just going to pull out enough to make my
wraps and then I'm just going to pinch
that off there at the intersection and I
want to take my left hand strand here
and come in underneath and wrap in this
direction so I want to come in
underneath first and then over the top
towards you and I'm going to take four
wraps for complete wraps and if you were
using light line you might want to take
a few more wraps then I'm going to take
this working in here tuck it up right
there at the intersection of the two
lines once I've tucked that up I'm just
going to pinch that into place and then
start working with my other side and
since this side was wrapping in this
direction I want to wrap in the opposite
direction with this line I'm going to
start by coming over and under and
towards and again I'm going to take four
wraps that's three
I'm going to take four and then you'll
notice that this tag here is going up so
I want to take this working end and go
in the opposite direction going down
through that I
and this is the stage where you would
lubricate the not just by spitting on it
and then we just want to take both
standing parts of the line and gently
draw this knot together
and then just make sure it's nice and
firmly set and then you can cut these
tag ends really close almost right up to
the body of their not give it about a
mil or so and there you would have your
finished
blood not
