How to Attach the Tippet to the Leader

Alright ladies and gentlemen what we are going to do is we are going to attached the tippet to the leader. As I explained early. What we do is we overlap and this is called the blood knot. We overlap the two the leader and the tippet. You do one loop, you pull your tippet through that loop, and pull it all the way through, and then you grab your leader and put it through the same loop. We do that two times. Something very,very important when ever you are tyeing knots in flying fishing whether it is tyeing a fly or your tippet or leader or whatever you are doing with line you always moisten the line before you secure the knot. It keeps it nice and strong. It keeps the knot from breaking. It insists in securing the knot down. When you want to trim your line down and we got our tippet attached to our leader.
