There are a number of methods to tying the blood knot, but I prefer this quick and easy way. This video explains step by step how to tie the fastest blood knot
Thanks for showing with both paracord and actual line. Too many UA-camrs make their method look easy with paracord but using it with light line turns out to be different if not impossible.
This is the easiest explanation I have seen. Also thank you for illustrating using cord. I could actually see what was going on. GREAT VIDEO!! THANK YOU!!
Thanks for this technique that should have been the original way to tie the knot. You have made it obviously so simple to tie. Thanks for your frustration free procedure!
This is an excellent method for the blood knot! I use it for bass rigging fluoro leaders to braid. It works just fine if you add extra wraps as needed. For example when i use power pro v2 40lb braid and xps 14lb floro leader, i use 7-8 wraps on each and it has worked well. You need to get the braid wraps tightly spaced and wet before you cinch otherwise sometimes the friction crinkles the fluoro just in front of the cinched knot. I know everyone is on about the uni and Alberto knots for leaders, but to me the blood knot is the most ideal because the knot is very low profile. The tag ends stick out the sides and I don't feel the knot bump through the guides as hard as I do others unless using micro guides.. Again Great technique , took me 2 evenings at the kitchen table to memorize the long way. This saves much time and produces a lot less room for confusion.
That's actually a much easier method, thank you. I love the strength and beauty of the blood knot but hate how difficult it was. I'm going to practice this knot this winter so I can beat your time.
Spectacular technique, blood knots have been a nemesis of mine for years. Thanks and break out the horse shoe tourney hat again, it's a thing of beauty!
Thank you very much. I had a lot of difficulty attaching a leader to my fly line with other videos. First try was a success with your method. Very, very helpful!
Brilliant! I don't even fly fish, but I'll be using this to tie leaders to braid. Doing both halves separately the mono or fluoro half is always slower because it's thicker and stiffer. Doing it this way I can do all of my wraps with the braid. Thanks!
Your video is the first video that actually helped me tie this knot very easy I've been watching other videos and I'm able to tie way harder not then this but for some reason could not get it down.
After going through a few of these "easiest" and "quickest" ways to do a blood knot, I honestly found yours to be the easiest. My go-to knot now for joining leader and tippet. Thanks!
Hi, thanks for sharing. I hated the blood knot and never used it. But you are saying you just keep using the one piece of line and basically just keep going. I’m going to give it a try. Many thanks 🙏
I use the blood knot for leader splices it’s very strong surgeons knot or double is not strong at all maybe quick but weak good for 10in trout. Strongest but slower and slightly more complicated is nail knot splice and a nail knot tool of any kind is helpful the breaking strength of nail knot splice is about the same as the tippet and it makes a cleaner knot.
Nice method, but the final example with actual mono tippet is in fast motion. How bout slowing it down, so I can see how you manage those tiny tags that flutter away from my grip !
It can totally be tied with braid! I just figured it out! You’ve just got to pull the braid tight before you do the final cinch so that the flourished wraps around it!

Better than I thought it would be
Thank you! Gonna use that on the stream today
Nice always appreciate tips n short cuts!

Awesome man! Glad to help
Also a great point!! I’m using this to tie braid to leader as well in bass fishing!
Thanks so easy now 👍
Holy hell. Seriously. You just made my life so easy. I use the blood knot all the time. But i just can’t seem to make it easy on myself. You just did
Totaro17 I’m so glad to help! Anything that saves time rigging ultimately puts more fish in the net
Your a genius.

I'm so glad I could help Mike! I hope it quickens the knot tying process so you can spend more time with your flies in the water
Dude. That's a great trick.
Great video. Thank you.
Great video that was very helpful. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! This knot was a game changer for me

Bro!!!! That’s sweet!!!!
31 seconds. Very impressive also when you consider that about the last 10 seconds we're spent just cutting off the tags.
INCREDIBLE! Would you please consider doing it in SLOW MO? I'm having a little problem following. Perhaps step by step, Greatly appreciated.
Solid video 👌
Awesome bro thanks
That intro music. Gangsta fly fishing
Damn! That’s slick!
That's the fastest I've ever seen it tied.
Very clever dude 👍
BRAVO! SUPER DUDE!
Soo easy. Thanks
Nice!
NICE !!
WTF you just did!!!
Love it!!
THANKS
awesome
impressive
Genius
Awesome! How does. It work in high. Wind, snow flurries and clouds of black Flores’s? Nice theory though...
It works well in all conditions!

👍
Awesome! Thanks. BTW, How many tries to hit that at 30 seconds?😁😁
Nice video! What nipper are you using?
Looks like the Umpquas I own.
Way quicker!!
I like the product placement. Are you sponsored by Patagonia and Yeti now?
David G Wow I totally forgot to thank them for funding this ultra high-budget video! 😂
You deserve to be sponsored bro! Your videos are awesome. Glad that you're back.
David G I appreciate it man! Hopefully some day haha. Gonna keep at it for now I have some cool trips planned in the near future 👍🏻
Nice method, but the final example with actual mono tippet is in fast motion. How bout slowing it down, so I can see how you manage those tiny tags that flutter away from my grip !
I got it one time I can’t get it again, I’m doing fluorocarbon to braid, the fluorocarbon keeps slipping
this knot is not meant to be tied with braid, try the Alberto knot.
PhelpsOntheFly thank you it’s appreciated!
It can totally be tied with braid! I just figured it out! You’ve just got to pull the braid tight before you do the final cinch so that the flourished wraps around it!
MUCH EASIER!
Mmmm I don’t know
Must not be using fluoro.
Yea, Now try doing that with tremors.
Logan Paul is that you?
20lb fluorecarbon to 10lb braid just slips
this knot is not meant to be tied with braid, try the Alberto knot.
Good method, but that spit wad was gross, bruh....
It says 30 second knot why is the video over 2 min.?
Pretty sure this knot is a myth. Or I'm that stupid.
this sucks
