Nail Knot

[kylemonkey]

this guy sounds drunk

[MrGreyyeti]

this reminds me of the boat motor i bought that had a hamster on an exersize wheel for a power source. not very usefull but funny to watch...

[MrPicStuff]

Thanks for responding to my comment. Very nice video and very well done explaination! Thanks!

[MrPicStuff]

What keeps the straight line from coming out, when under extreme pull?

[hardkilla]

@MrPicStuff the friction from the nail knot pretty much keeps it togerther i use this knot alot and the only time i ever had problems with it is when it is two same diameter lines other that thats you can go small diameter to large or large to small

[yankeeschampsx27]

0:00 This is nail knot... hahaha

[docandry77]

Thanks for the video. I had to try it twice but the second time was the charm. I found it easier to tie than all the other tutorials.

[SuperJlong22]

had to watch for a while to realise what a joke this explenation is , this knot is used to attach reel backing to fly line and he is attaching about 6 inches of leader , the other end as you say is about 30 yrds of line !

[plutoplatters]

@SuperJlong22  explanation ... realize.... there are many uses for this knot. You're the JOKE.

[NewAgeNymphing13]

@SuperJlong22 you can also use it to attach your butt section of your leader to the fly line...most common use but ik what u mean

helping me to get outta my hotel and into the spring creeks in montana

[marlie4667]

you are passing the loop 7 times over the main leader since the short tag end becomes the main leader at the end of the video. I tried and watch the video many times before I realized that this was the situation. I was confused, but now I'm not. Thanks for the challenge.

[amoro99]

Real easy nail knot

[murraycod1965]

Extemely well explained, thanks heaps! First ever knot tied in relation to fly fishing.

[skcuf2]

Wish you would have done it more than once...Being a beginner and watching this it is tough to tell what is what. Your youtube limit isn't 2 minutes. All the people saying "great guide" already know how to tie the knot and it is tough for me as a newbie to learn from this.

[plaije]

@skcuf2 replay the video putz.

[skcuf2]

@plaije I replayed the video many a time. Trying to figure out which end of the leader was which took about 25 minutes. If he was more clear in the video, which I guess was delivered for new fisherman, then there would been no problem. Don't call me a putz for not having an explanation well done.

[vejviser]

hmm i dont get it something is wrong ,the knot is right, but the short end off the leader is the main leader so you have to pull the hole leader true the knot ,well maby it is me that dont see it

[skunkapotamus]

Im thinking tying a granny knot in the end of the fly line would keep it from slipping.

[vjanda1]

I 'm looking for a good knot for joining equal diameter mono to mono (100lbs +).

Will this work or will it slide off?

I used to use the bloodknot but it's too weak.

Thanks

[akaeldin]

Wow you make that look so easy , i have been looking for the tool to tie nail knots, i have tryed your way and that is easy and no tools required even a small twig works thanks.canada

[bantamhockey300]

thx alot man

[jamdarger]

thanks for a simple way of doing this knot

[bluesxman10]

Yeah, this technique is a lot easier than the one I typically see in books. Great Video

[cancerkid888]

ive always had alot of trouble with this knot.



[joeysixtysix]

Nice video, easy to see and follow.

[hangingcloud2008]

Awesome. Easy to understand. I just started fly fishing and this was a great video. In fact, I was able to tie a leader to the fly line at the shore the same day when blue fish kept clipping my leader.

[WAFFLE608]

very informational video. nicely done

[RnFfishy]

Pretty easy to tie actually.  Thanks!

[SamaonSlam]

He has the tag end and the long end of the fly line backwards... and he switches them near the end

[bmxbikersbmx]

"dis is nail knot" what are you a retard

[njangler2]

this way to tie the nail knot is much easier than anothher way i used to tie it and this way is faster.

[Zollaganzi]

fucking impossible

[TrustJesusandrepent]

mine keep slippping through

what am i doing wrong

[RebelGreg]

it took 30 tries, but I got it!!!

[SplinterGage]

use both ends of the leader

[barby56]

Finally. I get it!

[FuzzybunnySuperstar]

wtf?

[declanwong]

Excellent demo.

[handmetheclip]

Double English knot might be a good alternative.

[kb1kix]

At least now I won't tie knots on the end of my line the size of my fist!!!

I have a nail tool and I still get tied up on this one.

I go through leaders like no tomorrow!

[russlehman]

I always tie it with a twig. I don't carry a nail or tube in my fishing vest, but I can always find a twig (usually willow) along a trout stream and it works fine

[vontsec]

dude just use two bowlines... oh and by the way if you quickly realease then jerk on the lines it will get undone..

[sgraves123]

Bowlines are useless on fly rod. The lowprofile of the knot is required to pass through the rod guides. And the nail knot, properly tied as demonstrated, will cut the fly line before it will come undone. Ask any experienced fly fisherman.

[digital5k]

A figure of eight follow-through would work just as well, but it's tedious when you're working with fishing line. It's got a rather low profile, but I suppose round lashing your line works about the same.

[russlehman]

A bowline doesn't hold in monofilament. It would probably hold in fly line, but linking a bowline and a perfection loop or other loop that works in monofilament leader would give you a weak knot that would be too big to go through the guides smoothly, if at all.

[c2c2p1]

2 bowlines demonstrates the worst possible way to tie to lines together ever

[jaustin03]

this guy is the best knot tier ever
