Used to join two lines together, fireline to lead core,
flea flicker to mono, super lines to mono.
Lay the two lines side by side with twelve inches overlapping.
Form a Uni knot type of circle on the first line.
|
 |
Wrap the first line around the second seven to ten times,
through the loop of course. Wrap around the line less
for heavier lines.
|
 |
Pull the tag to engage enough tension to close and hold
the wraps in place, not too tight.
|
 |
Create another Uni knot on the second line, just like
before.
|
 |
Pull the main lines apart to butt the knots against one
another. To tighten harder, pull the tag ends firmly.
Clip as you like.

 |
Pass the line through the eye. Double back and make five
turns or so around the standing line.
Thread end of line through first loop above eye, then
through the big loop as shown.
|
 |
Pull to tighten, lubricate!!
|
|
|
|
|
Run the end of line through eye of tackle and double
back through the eye a second time.

Recommended by Berkley Fire Line. Double about 4"
of line and pass the loop
through the eye of fishing hook.
|
|
Let the fishing hook hang loose, and tie an overhand
knot in the doubled line.
Avoid twisting the lines and do not tighten.
|
|
Pull the loop end of the line far enough to pass it over
the hook.
Make sure the loop passes completely over the attachment.
|
|
Pull both the tag end and the standing line until the
knot is tightened.
|
|
|
|
|
Insert one end of the line through the hook's eye extending
one to two inches past the eye. Insert the other end of
the line through the eye in the opposite direction pointing
toward the barb.
Hold the hook and line ends between thumb and forefinger
of your left hand. Line will hang below the hook in a
large loop.
|
|
Take the part of this
loop that is closest to the eye and wrap it over the hook
and shank and both ends of the line towards the hook's barb.
Wrap for seven or eight turns and hold wraps with your left
hand.
Grip the end of line that is through the eyelet with your
right hand and pull it slowly . Hold the turns with your
left hand or the knot will unravel. |
|
When the knot is almost tight, slide it up against the
eye of the hook. Grip the short end lying along the shank
of the hook with a pair of pliers.
Pull this end and the standing line at the same time to
completely tighten the knot and trim.
