Joining two lines of similar diameter — extending fly line tippet, splicing sections of leader
Overlap 6 inches of both lines side by side, pointing in opposite directions
Take one tag end and wrap it around the other line 5 times, working away from the center overlap
Bring the tag end back and hold it between the two lines at the center
Repeat wraps on the other side — 5 times in the opposite direction
Pass the second tag end through the center loop in the opposite direction from the first
Wet thoroughly, then pull both main lines simultaneously until knot cinches
Trim both tag ends close
🎣 Pro Tip
Both tag ends should exit the knot on the same side. If they cross, the knot will slip.
