🪢 Surgeon's Knot

Quickly attaching a fluorocarbon leader to monofilament main line — the easiest line-to-line connection

Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Overlap the last 6 inches of both lines, running parallel in the same direction

  2. 2

    Form a loop with both lines together and pass both tag ends through it — that is one overhand knot

  3. 3

    Pass both tag ends through the loop a second time

  4. 4

    Wet the knot and pull all four strands simultaneously to tighten

  5. 5

    Trim both tag ends to about 1/4 inch

🎣 Pro Tip

Three overhand wraps (triple surgeon) instead of two adds significant strength for heavier applications.
