How to Tie a Blood Knot for Fishing (Main Line to Leader Connection Knot)

The blood knot is a line-to-line connection knot for tying two fishing lines together, usually main lines to leaders or backing line to main line. It can be used with other types of lines/strings/ropes as well. This video demonstrates an easy way to learn how to tie the blood knot.

I've always used the double uni knot for braid to leader connections, and I've never had a problem. Easy to tie and never had one fail. It works for me.

That's pretty cool. I like your knot tying videos. I just need to remember how to do these in the spring. Thanks for your time and videos.

I've found that for braid, I need 10-14 wraps for 15lb braid. I used to think blood knots didn't work w braid, but I just didn't wrap enough.

And if you cross them at the beginning tag ends pointing up instead of down works pretty well too just have to loop everything the oppsites of what you did .
