I haven't fished in about 15 years and now my kids are getting into it ... I am sure glad for UA-cam! Thanks for the great video, thorough explanation, and for making me look smart. Cheers!
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. I truly appreciate the compliment. Glad to hear you got it on the 1st try. My goal is to keep it simple, yet effective. Tight lines ;)
Hi Mickey, thanks for watching. I'm glad you like my knot nickname, super easy to tie... If only I had a nickel for every time I've tied this set up, I'd have a small fortune. Take care & stay healthy.
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some excellent feedback. Glad to hear it worked out for you. I really do try to keep it down-to-earth and simple. Thanks again for your support of the channel. I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
I'm going to try the no name knot with a double surgeon knot to tie 14lb main mono line to 10lb floro leader. The first knot seemed a little complicated so I'm trying a double surgeon knot instead to form the loop. Yesterday, I used a blood knot to tie the two lines and lost a fish because the leader line pulled through which is what lead me here today. : )
Thanks a million for watching and sharing. Blood knot can be tricky. It's more of a knot that is used to splice the same pound test line together deep in your spool, so you don't have to re-spool the entire thing. Double surgeon knot will do just fine, it's a little abrasive, but it'll get the job done, I do suggest learning the spider hitch, once you do it a couple of times, it'll be second nature. But, it's more important to be comfortable with what you are doing so you can get out there and get your line in the water. Good luck in your journeys. Thanks again for your support, I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks a boat load for watching and leaving some great feedback. I truly appreciate it and your support for the channel. Glad to hear you found it easy to understand. Hope you put it to use and get some fish in the bucket with it. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. I truly appreciate the support. There are many ways to go about tying lines together. Over 3 decades, I've come to this solution. To me it has the most shock absorbency. Is streamline, so you can cast with it. Also, you can attach different pound test or diameter lines together with it. It works with Braid to Fluorocarbon too. Thanks again. Tight lines &take care ;)

Seems to me you would want your leader to be a (somewhat) lower lb test line than your mono main line in case you get snagged, etc. so that the tackle and leader breaks off before losing X amount of your main line...
Thanks a million for watching and sharing/inquiring, I truly appreciate it and your support for the channel. Actually, more often than not, you'll want your leader to either be equal or heavier pound test than your main. If you get snagged on the bottom and can;t get free, your line will snap at one of your connecting knots, either at your hook, or where you threaded your lines together. Knots always create weak points, the knot won't break, the line on either side of it will. Hope this helps give you some insight to the science of it. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)

Hi Heath, Another great "how to" video. I like the "poor man's" Bimini Twist. It looks easy to tie. Stay safe, Mickey

Great video, I have a good technique for fluorocarbon to braid, but it was working for mono main lines. Going to give this a try!

I always wipe my knots with some kind of a lubricant so you don't get a burn when you pull them together
Is this knot suitable for beachcasting shock leader?
Yes
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing thank you very much for your prompt reply.
Does this work for braid to flouro?
Most definitely 😀
