Blood Knot

![]() |
One of the best knots for
splicing two monofilament lines of similar diameter — or for joining two
dissimilar-diameter lines by doubling the lighter of the two.
(1) Overlap the two parallel lines by 12 inches total. Take five wraps on one side and pull the end back through between the two strands. (2) Repeat on the other side, pulling the other end through the strands in the opposite direction. (3) Pull the two tag ends slowly to gather the knot, and (4) once gathered neatly, pull the standing line to tighten the knot. Trim the tag ends. |
