One of the best knots for splicing two monofilament lines of similar diameter
– or for joining two dissimilar-diameter lines by doubling the lighter of the two.
(1) Overlap the two parallel lines
by 12 inches total. Take five wraps on
one side and pull the end back through
between the two strands.
(2) Repeat on the other side, pulling
the other end through the strands in the
opposite direction.
(3) Pull the two tag ends slowly to gather
the knot, and
(4) once gathered neatly,
pull the standing line to tighten the knot.
Trim the tag ends.
