How to Tie The Surgeons Knot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 бер 2023
- I go over the Double Surgeons Knot as well as the Triple Surgeons Knots. Using forceps definitely helps tying this knot if you have cold hands or you just can't tie knots due to hand dexterity issues. I also go over dropper tag situations and how which side of the tag to use so you don't break off a fish of a lifetime! Hope This helps and please consider Subscribing for more content!

Brilliant little video
Thanks for for sharing
Congratulations on making the Orvis News with this hemostat knot tying tutorial!
Thanks! I was pretty surprised when i found out.
Very clear and easy to understand. Bonus for the dexterity challenged tip. 😉
Yeah, all last week my fingers were numb within minutes of fishing so the forceps trick was in full effect haha! Thank you for the positive feedback.
Thanks for making this easy
It’s my absolute pleasure. Thank you for the lovely comment.
First time I’ve ever heard that if you use the upper tag end it will weaken the knot and therefore it is recommended you use the bottom tag. Thank you.
Yeap. I think it has to do with the knot pushing down on the cinch. All I know is it will fail, which really is a bummer. If you want to use the upper tag, an Orvis Tippet knot seems to work. Or just make the surgeons knot tags small and cut em off. Then put a clinch knot just above the surgeons and slide it down onto the surgeons knot then cinch it down. Those seem to do the trick if you want that tag pushing away from the main line. I will be doing a video on tags soon and will illustrate it there. Thanks for checking out my video. Appreciate it🙂
Handy hint if you tie a hitch or overhand knot with the bottom dropper around the leader it forms a right angle junction and helps prevent tangles - enjoy.
Interesting. I will tie a clinch above a surgeons knot for a right angle but never did it your way. Might giver a go!
Great tips.
What are your thoughts on tipit rings?
They’re great! I only use them when i have a large diameter leader that needs to step down to like 4-6x. Eg. 12lb maxima/tippet ring 2.5mm/ 4x tippet. Great for steelhead and heavy indicator rigs. I don’t use them for anything else.
