The Blood Knot

The Blood Knot is a classic fishing knot used to join two lengths of line, often of similar or different diameters, to create a strong, reliable connection. It’s commonly used in fly fishing and other types of fishing where a seamless, secure link is needed between lines. The knot involves wrapping the ends of the two lines around each other multiple times and then tightening them to form a compact, secure connection. When tied correctly, it maintains strength and flexibility, allowing the lines to pass smoothly through guides or reels without snagging.
