When fly-fishing, use this knot to add additional tippet to your leader...

  • Great vid helped me alot great for shark fishing

  • @flylooper What's so silly about a double surgeons knot? Its about 5X easier and quicker to tie than a blood knot.

  • Very useful. The blood knot is what I call an "elegant" knot which it should be because (A) it works and (B) it's much better looking than a silly double surgeon's loop.The best knot for lines of unequal diameter.Very well photographed.

  • Nice Video, now I'm tying my own leaders using this knot and getting ready for the season. See, your 2007 Video is still helping people in 2011.

    Thanks, Bill

  • Is this the best knot to use when tying your own leader, tapering it from 2 or 3X down to 5X?

  • @michaelsw0rd yes

    

  • wow this helped a lot, hopefully i'll do it right...

  • After checking out several other knots from other peoples videos I kind of wish you had more videos of other knots, because you're a lot easier to follow than the others I've seen! Thanks for making the video, now I know how to tie a blood knot!

  • can you attach fly line to leader using the blood knot?
