The single knot (figure 1) is made by laying the
Figure 1 ends of two strands along side of one another and tying a simple knot around each with the free end of the other. When pulled tight these knots jam against each other making what appears to be one knot. The strands should be shaken slightly as the knots come together. Finish by snipping off the over-hanging surplus. The double knot (figure 2) is made similarly except that a double knot is tied before tightening. Of the two I prefer the single knot because it is smaller
Figure 2 although not quite as secure unless very carefully tied. Some anglers weave a tiny length of gut between the strands to act as a cushion before drawing taut but this I believe to be unnecessary. If one wishes he can insert the knotted end of a loop or strand between the knots for dropper fly before pulling them together. |
