Knot
without a needle: This
knot doesn't need any tool, needle or
plastic tube... It can be tied easily while on the water.
A interesting variant makes the leader going through
the middle of the flyline
|
 |
Put
the flyline (Soie) and leader (in black) side by side.
Make an overhand loop with the leader tag end (BL) and in going up
the flyline, wrap it up around the flyline and leader BF
|
|
 |
Make
5 or 6
wraps Hold
the BF and the flyline end, pull slowly on the BL, the wraps
turn and tighten around the line.
|
|
 |
With
the fingers, put the coils together, then, with your right
thumbnail pinch the end of the flyline and slide the coils against
it.
Hold the BF and BL and pull together
on both ends.
Cut the leader BL and flyline end.
|
|
|
An
interesting variation, the leader is in the middle of the flyline |
 |
Put a needle in the
line core and get it out at 3-4 mm to the side.
If needed, replace the needle by a bigger one. Get it ou.
Cut the leader butt in a
sharp point.
|
 |
 |
Push
the leader through the flyline opening, pull 5 to 8cm of leader.
With the BF make the knot as above.
Hold the line and leader, pull on the leader tag end, put
the coils together |
 |
 |
Slide the coils until the 1st coil is right
over the hole. Pull on both ends of the leader.
Notice the leader comes out right in the
middle of the flyline, making for a very neat knot, which will
slip easily through the rings. |
