4 minutes of uselessness. I can tie a leader to braid in about 18 seconds. Ffs. . AND it will be a triple fly . I only watch this rubbish for a laugh. Seriously. 🤔

Well I wish I saw this 4 years ago! Nail knot is not too much hassle, Flip Pallot connection is awesome, but this is fool proof and quick and easy to tie anywhere. I tie in a 6" 15lb double perfection loop, then run my leaders of choice off the 15lb loop. Less loss of fly line after a bunch of leaders. Thanks for this winner!!!

Thanks this was awesome just tied it on haven't fished with it yet though. It may be obvious but I used leaders that already had the not tied in them and it worked well, just letting anybody who has leaders like that know you don't have to worry with tying a figure 8 knot

I just use an over hand loop knot. Very simple and easy. I’ve never fly fished before and I’m using mono to connect it so correct me if anything I’m doing is wrong but that’s what I’m using for the tutorial.

@jamescooper2618 Жыл бұрын
Sorry, but this knot is way to bulky to be practical. It has bulk, wind resistance and will catch going through the guides. The Nail Knot is much smaller, much more streamlined and is not difficult to tie. I would never connect a leader in this fashion nor would I ever recommend it to anyone.

I just snell my leader off the fly line. Zero bulk. The leader is paired to the weight of the fly line so I need never change leaders, only tippet material. Keeps all the energy of cast going into the line right to the fly. loop to loop is utter garbage.

Thank you for this, as I couldn't get the nail knot to work in the comfort of my home with zero wind, no sweat dripping into my eyes, glasses steaming up, and mosquitos and gnats buzzing around my face. I'm new at this whole fly fishing thing, and I've gotta say, I've managed to get through casting basics, and the other nuances that come with fly fishing, but I'm not sure how guys tie some of these knots. Outside of the usual miserable stream-side conditions that don't help, I've got fat fingers, basil joint arthritis, all the while working with line and hook eyes that are nearly invisible to my blind eyes, without much in the way of patience. Maybe fly fishing isn't for me. 😆
