Fly Fishing Needle Knot for Leader

Video Transcript

Okay, we're going to attach the liter to the fly line again, but this time we're going to do it with a needle. We're still doing a nail knot, but we're just going to do it a little bit easier way. Same thing, we're going to line up the fly line and the needle, you see the eye of the needle here. And then we're going to have the liter going the opposite direction through here. And we're going to grab that end of the liter, wrap it back this way toward the end of the needle and the end of the fly line, four wraps, that's all we need. One, two, three, four. And then we'll take the end of the liter, poke it through the eye of the needle, and then pull that back through the loops that we just made. And this is a little bit easier because, once again, we do not have to worry so much about the loops sliding because they're much snugger than they were in the nail knot tool. So we'll pull the needle out, that pulls the end of the liter out, snug it up, pull both ends of the liter nice and tight. And that's what it looks like when it's done. You can clip it off as close as you want here, and as close as you want here and it shouldn't slide out. You just want to give it a good hard tug to test it. If it doesn't come out now, then it probably won't ever come out.
