If I could like this 1 million times I would. This was the easiest Bloodknot I’ve ever tied. I do you have to look at this video once every year just to remind myself before a trip. Thank you! I hope this never gets taken down lol.
Did this for the first time last night fly fishing for bass on a friends pond. I ran the tag ends in opposite directions. Left one tag end between my teeth while pushing the first one through. First time doing it and was probably about 20 seconds and it looked perfect. Didn’t fail the whole night and I caught a bunch of bass and brim. Thanks Mr. Redmond!
Parker, few video's show the real life method of tying a line-- line knot , in a rocking boat, wind blowing, and hands unstable. Gosh this method fits the right way to tie in a real situation. So many video's, so many knots, so many ways to tie them. I will follow your example from now on with ease for a repeatable method I can do anywhere . Thanks much.
Next FLA trip make it S.W. Fl. 35 mins to Boca Grande Pass, (World #1 Tarpon hot spot) thru Pine Island Sound. You,ve got a water front apt., boat, on Crescent Beach. I,m serious ! Ian knocked out 80% of local boats. Fish like 65'.
Absolutely. This is definitely the quickest method I know of for splicing two pieces of tippet together. You can certainly take the extra step to stick the tag ends in opposites sides of the loop. I've never officially performed a strength comparison, however I've not noticed any reduction in knot strength using my method. However! I will say that I think some brands of fluorocarbon could slip out when you go in the same direction. I also haven't tested this but I'm a little superstitious when it comes to fly fishing and normally choose to finish the knot in the traditional manner if I'm using fluoro. Thanks for commenting!
That looks more complex but lets break it down. 1. We need wraps, right but how many? Say five on each side as a standard to put the loops through. Well, why not just wrap 10 times with one end, does it matter? We need 10 wraps total, so after 5, put your index finger to create space for the loop, and keep wrapping with the same end. At the end bring the ends through. Much simpler.
That would certainly work! We all tie it in different ways and in the end if there's 5 wraps on both sides of a loop then you've got the knot. How we get there is personal preference and I find it simpler to utilize my teeth to aid in the process of creating the loop.
I love knots for this very reason, and thank you for sharing this brilliant piece of knowledge!

Thank you sooooo much. This took all the frustration out of the equation
Best video on the blood knot on UA-cam! (Secrets revealed)
Wow...who knew...I have grandsons 10, 8, and 5, I can’t wait to get them working on this Blood Knot hack; thank you so much!
Yo Holmes!!! What!!!! Super fly!!!!
That's a fun way to do it. Effectively a dropper loop knot like you see for saltwater fishing.
Ridiculously easy wow’ thank you .
A blood knot is supposed to have the tag ends come out on opposite sides of each other

Wow, goodlooking knot........seems hard to make but I'm gonna try! Thanks for sharing mate and greetings from Holland, Pat.

@@madisonvalleyranch4873 well, figure-eight would be even quicker
Impressive that you figured that out.
great vid man i hope your account goes famous
Thank-you very much.
Just tie a square knot then loop the lines over each other and do this same process and it's a lot easier.
Brilliant!
Super helpful 😁
Both ends go the same way. Does that make your mono kink a little the opposite direction? Symmetry might be important.
I always poke them through in oposite directions.
Hello ❤
awesome
Nice
Good

Is the blood knot popular in North Korea?
@@IIrandhandleII It is now! They want me to fly out there to demonstrate it to everyone.
@@IIrandhandleII Yes, its very effective for hanging as the dear leader is short on long ropes.
@@parkerredmond5448 😂greets from Germany. Like your sense of humor 🤟
But I don’t like using my mouth😢
well that totally confused me
Not a blood knot.
dropper knot
There is a better way to do this. Just tie the ends together.
