Have any for surgeons knot? [signature] Re: [bigben1] Knot Tying Help - TubeDude - 10-18-2005 [cool][#0000ff]Let's see how this works.[/#0000ff] [#0000ff][/#0000ff]This knot may be used to join two lines or to form a loop; for the loop simply double the standing part and use just one line. It is preferred by many to join tippet to leader. Really an overhand knot with one additional turn, it can be enhanced further by adding yet another, but for most usage it is not needed. Many like it as you can actually tie it without looking at it; you can feel it forming, very useful in the dim light of a spinner fall when you need to change to a new tippet. [signature] Re: [TubeDude] Knot Tying Help - Likes2CatchBass - 10-20-2005 That is very handy. Excellent Post. I am supprised that it didin't include the Palomar knot. I thought it was the most widely used knot, and the easiest to tie.

A little different than the Palomar but looks like it accomplishes the same thing. [signature] Re: [JoyRide] Knot Tying Help - Rapo - 10-21-2005 No, I was looking at the palomar knot. If you go to the link I posted, then when you get there click on page-3, and you will find the palomar knot. [signature]
