How to Tie Clinging Clara

The clinging clara is a great hitch to use if you want to attach a smaller line to a larger line. Now, as you can see here on my table, I already have a larger line setup for us to use. And here's my smaller line that were going to do, that we're going to attach to it. So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to go and take it and I'm going twist it a good turn like so. Nice, full loop around it, then I'm going to take my working end and I'm going to go under my standing line, and then back over it and then under itself once again to create a loop like so. And then I'm going to twist it back and it's going to go through this twist elbow that I have right here, through my line. Then, as I tighten it up, it will tighten itself onto the line and you can pull the line and drag on it and it's good because then all the tension is right in here. I'm not really creating a lot of tension on my working end. So, I'm going to tie that knot one more time, after I untie it here, there we go. Now as you can see, it doesn't want to untie really easy, so we'll do this one real fast. Go over, twist completely, back under my standing line, over, under itself, and then through the twist, tighten it up - a clinging clara.
