Background & Materials
I have used this connection over many years fishing for steelhead, salmon & arctic char; strong fish that often take you into your backing.
The knot is smooth, lacking external points that can catch the guides. As well, it is secure because the wraps serve as a shock absorber to the end of backing / line connection.
It is reasonably easy to make & requires only simple tools & material:
- a small needle whose point has been rounded
- a pin holder or vise grip pliers
- a 12” length of Kevlar thread or dental floss
- glue that stays flexible such as Aquaseal
