The Blood knot is used to tie two lines together. We used this for all types of leaders in fresh and Saltwater for conventional and Flyfishing.
In this video you will learn to tie it with high visibility lines and then we will test it on the NexTech force tester
Read MoreThe Knot Wars return this week with a closer look at the Blood Knot. Conventional wisdom says that the tag end of a blood knot should come out in opposite ways but if they come out the same way does it make a difference? The answer may surprise you! It’s one thing to say one knot is better than the other but for the knot wars we test these knots head to head using the same line on a Next Tech ForceTester. The most important part of being a great angler is to control the controllable and their is no better example of that than properly preparing your tackle.

Read MoreThe knot wars return this week and at the request of a listener I have decided to put the Slim Beauty and Two Turn Blood Knot head to head. As always I’ll be testing these knots on a Next-Tech Force-tester to maintain consistency.
Both of these knots are used to eliminate a Bimini Twist from the leader to save time and make the leader much less visible.
One of the many keys of becoming a great angler is to control to controllable and there is no better example of this than properly preparing and managing your tackle.
