This fishermans bend is 50% strong, very simple, and often easy to untie. It is best when both ropes are equal in size.

Since these ropes are unequal in size, the double sheet bend is stronger.

If you want a very strong permanent bend for equal size ropes, try the blood knot bend with at least four turns. It is a jamming knot.

This was exact the knot I needed for a project. Thanks for the lesson!

Well done i tried to learn this knot once before and didn't, you did a great job of showing and explaining why and what and how. Thanks

I think double "Uni" knot is better than "blood" knots as it ends at the two sides rather than up and down. So if I use Uni line for necklace ending, it will not cause slight discomfort due to the cut and burnt ends. Nevetheless, thank you for a very clear and concise tutorial!

WOW took me a few tries to get it and yes this will definitely help tying two different lines together, good technique showing with 2 color ropes. Its easy now that I know how :) for fishing!!

This why I subscribed, because you can count on being able to see how a knot is being tied very clearly . Better than any where else I have found.

Márcia Cristina

very informative thanks so much can"t wait to use it!

E Slacka

Excellent explanation!!!!! I completely understand how to do the knot now. Thank you so much

AJP Fishing

when you get a chance I would love to hear your feedback on a knot that I invented that I think you will enjoy with snaps and split rings. It has also become one of the favorite knots used by anglers on the Hudson river recently. It's on my channel, or you can look under The "AJ OVERKILL" knot. Thanks again I look forward to your feedback.

great, thanks! I just used to tie my bore snack (gun cleaning rope) back together after it broke. Works awesome!

You just saved my line. Thank you very very much 🥰

Great video friend! Nice and slow, good contrasting background and line colors and up close camera angle. U did a good job. Alot of these other youtubers use fishing line and against a bad backdrop etc. And we cant see shit! Why make a video if its not quality. Yours is quality and i say thank u! Ive been wanting to try this knot, now i can.

Took me a hour and half to tie my first blood knot but I now have my first braided line with floro leader ready to hit the river

I find with this knot you need to draw it fast not slow and really pop the knot in place to prevent any undwinding. Lubrication is a must

OH MY GOSH!!!! I DID IT WITH 12LB TEST MONO ON THE 3RD TRY WITH ARTHRITIC HANDS (and my tongue). SWEET! THANK YOU SIR

Peter Edwards

Try a triple surgeons knot Robert, it's a super simple knot to tie even in situ on the bank, yet surprisingly strong

Brown Dwarf

Awesome I just learned a new knot thank you

Pull your tag ends tight before clipping them off. Especially with braided line.

I cannot effing believe that i got stuck in another video about how to tie a bloodknot for like 10 mins, gave up, find a new video, Found this, and instantly got it in first try..

Aleksei Hansen

Best knot i ever seen, thank you :)

Bonehead Junkies

By far the most difficult knot I’ve ever tried to tie. Spent hrs trying to do this even with the walkthrough I cannot get it

DanLewis

6y↑2

Wrong, works great braid to mono or braid to fluoro. Unless you tie it incorrectly.

WarnerBrotherProductions

Bonehead Junkies I did the same thing but with braid to fluoro and realized you can't do braid to fluoro with this knot

N Russell

Great vid. Suggestion. ..add a third filming light to eliminate shadows

Chris kilgore

Geez, I could never do these nots good at first but with they way you use thick cord I could clearly see it all and managed to tie a perfect blood knot first try, fucking love it man

Evan Cronon#1

Perfection I wish every knot video was this straight forwards

I never seem to get this one right. My braid generally ends up wrapping at two points on my leader and the leader slips out. Maybe I'm just that stupid?

Nose_Art_Guy

4y↑2

Love the blood knot but I'm about fed up. Takes me like 7-10 tries most times. Every once in a while I get it on the first or second try and I'm not doing anything different those times. It always happens on the cinch close....it just pulls apart. The mono just slips out away from the braid.

BeachBuster97

More wraps

Trevnutz

Try a double uni knot for braid to mono, its become my favorite way to attach a mono leader to braid. I'm typically using 30lb braid to 12-16 lb mono

Nose_Art_Guy

L P I've gotten better since making this comment. But hell...it happened a few times this morning lol. That was with 15lb floro. For some reason I find it happens more with floro than mono. I'm duality doing 40-50lb braid to 12-15lb maxima mono. That line works about he best with the blood knot. And it's great line too. Unless it's super clear water it's what I have ties on 99% if the time.
I think sometimes we focus too hard on the tag ends. I try to hold the tag ends but not try to pull them. I think early on I was tying to pull them as well as the lines. I don't know...like I said it still occasionally happens but not nearly as much with that maxima line.

Leighton Poley

4y↑1

Same here. Really wish at least one blood knot tutorial video would explain why this happens. We can't be the only one and this is obviously the most common "mistake" being made. Even had someone else in person watch a few videos and try, same results at least 50% of the time.

Edwin Algarin

Awesome thank you for sharing

Amazing video!

Spencer Hurley

Can you join braided line to flourocarbon with this?

Nathaniel Toby

What type of rope/cord are you using in this video?

Michael Santiago

Hi. Is this knot used only for fishing lines? Can it be effectively used to join regular cordage like paracord or climbing ropes? Thanks for sharing. 🙏

Rick Sonora

2y↑1

What he looked close to paracord. This fishing knot is meant to be thin so it passes through fishing pole loops and doesn’t snag weeds, so there may be better knots for other applications.

Marius Veltman

Very helpful video thx

knee grow

Tnx for teaching

Anfield View

The Double Grinner (UK) or Double Uni (US) is a far better knot to join two lengths of line.

statesideqsod

Very good. Nice detail & direction..

Thank you so much. You are the only channel on YouTube who I could find who could accurately and successfully teach me how to tie a blood knot. 👍😎

Same here, not sure why the others didn't get it through my thick skull like this one did.

THOMAS MARTIN

Very easy knot to tie until you try it with 4 lb monofilament line.

Alberto R

@Peter Edwards this is as simple as it gets imo, blood knot is just as strong as fg and double uni and way stronger than triple surgeons, you might be disapointed one day if you hook a big bass and lose it to a knot

Jack Mackerel

Try 4lb flourocarbon with 8lb braid, it just slips right out when you try to cinch it down. The trick is you have to keep your windings real tight so it grips and clinches when you pull it tight.

Peter Edwards

4y↑2

Very true. You need a knot which is easy to tie on the bank, often with the wind and rain howling in your face. I connect two lines together using a triple surgeons knot, which is super simple, yet a surprisingly strong knot

Lewis Hofmann

4y↑3

I used 15 pound braided fire line easiest note I ever tied :)

Jeff Greenhut

Any advice for doing this in the wind with clear 10lb mono to mono thanks.

Curious, are you left or right handed?
As a lefty I have found other tutorials on this not to my dexterity.

I do mine way different interesting

Boomer

I like it!

Santi505 !!

Cool thanks

Alexander Geiser

I can't get my braid to stick to my Fluro. The Fluro pulls through every time. Do people normally have problems with that combination or no

Alexander Geiser

@Xchange Muzik thanks ill try it

Xchange Muzik

Use an FG knot bud .. you wont have any trouble I promise

Ron Sepkoski

4y↑1

I believe the blood knot is used for primary for connecting monofilament lines, which might explain why it’s not working as well with the fluro and braid. Also if the lines aren’t the same diameter the blood knot won’t work. So you would need to try a different kind of knot
