Nice video thank you for sharing

Maxima is amazing stuff, so resilient. I still use it but many now use fancy flourocarbons but they are prone to sudden breakages, especially if they rub against rocks etc

I appreciate the positive comment. Thank you.

Nice clear demonstration there. I often use 3 turn waterknots to join the different lines when making a tapered leader, I know I should use the blood knot and just bloody practice it more 😆 thanks for the video it might have inspired me!

Thank you, Barry. I'm glad you liked it.

Great demo and you're so right about 'if it ain't broke...'. So much 'progress' is just about marketing unnecessary stuff. By the way, would you ever fish a dropper on your tapered leaders? I've messed about with various ways of doing it using the tags on my blood knot

When I am using the dryfly, I use one fly only. When I wetfly , I sometimes use two flies with a dropper. I use a surgeons knot for that. I might do that next. I appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Why don't you use a surgeons knot to join your lines? it's much easier to tie than a blood knot. I used to use the blood knot for years. But when i got a bit older and my eyesight got a bit dim i started using the surgeons knot. Never had it break yet.

I do use the surgeons knot for my wetfly casts, but I prefer to spend a little time,especially during the winter, to make a few of these for the new season each year. Now that I think of it. I have made them with the surgeons knot when I ran out and needed them fast. Thank you for the comment.

Very interesting video

I use the maxima ultra green only and use it down to 3lbs for the river. I don't use the fluoro but don't forget to wet the knots before you pull on them.

@@Stevesgonefishing cheers for reply, im drooling all over the knots when making them off. Soon as i get any hard takes from rainbows the line is gone. Only started to use it to protect the welded loop on my line but back to blood knots but faster wear n tear on the line
