The Blood Knot is for tying different size lines together or connecting your spools backing line to your main line.
 |
1. Place the two ends of the lines on top of each other pointing in opposite directions. Wrap the lighter of the lines around the other 5 times then bring that end through the area the two lines meet. |
|
2.Wrap the heavier line around the lighter line 4 times and pass it through the opening now created in them. Make sure to pass the lines through the hole in opposite directions. |
|
3.Wet line. Then start pulling the running lines away from each other slowly and then make a quick jerk to snug them up. |
|
4. Trim both ends close so that it doesn’t catch any grass or if used as a backing knot it doesn’t snag any line. |
