Okay, in this series, we're going to be doing a knot, and knots that will apply specifically to you fly casting equipment. And basically what we're going to do is we're going to go from the reel all the way out to the liter. And I'm going to show you all the knots you need to do to attach your backing to your reel and then to attach the backing to the fly line, and then to attach the fly line to the liter, and the liter to the tidbit. And there's a few basic knots you can do that with and then I'll show you a few, kind of alternative knots that you can use to attach all those together. There's a couple of knots that are a little bit difficult, and there's a couple of knots that require a couple special tools, and then there's a couple of tricks that you can do to make tying a couple of these difficult knots a little bit easier. And I'll show you all that stuff. There's nothing, none of the tools are really out of the ordinary, a lot of stuff is stuff you can find around the house and stuff you might not have thought about using for tying your knots. So, we're going to show you how to do all that and hopefully make it a lot easier.
