Texas Gulf Coast Fishing

Blood Knot

The Blood Knot is used to join 2 lines of similar size together. Such as joining a Flouro-carbon leader to your fishing line.

• Over the lap ends of the lines to be joined.
  Twist one around the other 5 times. Bring the
  end back between the 2 lines. Repeat with the
  other line, wrapping in the opposite direction
  the same number of turns and inserting it back
  between the 2 lines from the other direction.

• Slowly pull the lines in opposite directions. The
  turns will wrap and gather.

• Pull knot together tightly and clip ends.
