BLOOD KNOT
The blood knot is used for joining nylon of equal diameters. When
used to join the leader to the tippet, one of the can be left long
and used as a dropper.
Cross the ends of both lengths of nylon about 100mm from the end.
Hold the crossing point between the thumb and fore finger of one
hand and use your other hand to take five turns of one line around
the other.
Pass the end of this line through between the crossover point of
the two lines. You will now need to hold the crossover point with
the thumb and forefinger of your other hand.
Make five turns with the other end round the line and pass the end
through the crossover point, as before, but making sure that it is
from the opposite direction.
Moisten the knot and tighten it slowly by pulling on the main
lengths of nylon.
Trim the tag ends. |
