kamzter Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Have just got another spod rod for my son and on connecting the leader to the line i cannot do the blood knot to save my life as mine was done by a mate and he dont live next door now so cant ask him. Is there an aklternative to the blood knot or is there any easier knot that can be used to connect leader to line. The line is 12lb to a 15lb-45lb shock leader?

Gaz Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 do a search for shockleader and you should find a diagram there for the shockleader knot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamzter Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 do a search for shockleader and you should find a diagram there for the shockleader knot Thats an idea, cheers gaz, searched through knots but could not see one that did the same thing as the blood knot (linking 2 lines together).

salokcinnodrog Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 If the 2 lines are close to the same diameter then a Water Knot (Surgeons Knot) will work. http://www.animatedknots.com/surgeonsjoin/index.php?LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinger Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'd have thought the allbright would be a good alternative. It will lay flat and could be covered with a sleeve or cement to ease through the rings should the need arise. (same knot with line of equal diameter) Would using the surgeons leave a proud bump that would in time get damaged. Not so sure it would glide through the eyes freely either.?

salokcinnodrog Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 The Water Knot when its tied smoothly does go through the rings easily. Definitely one that needs practice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
