Chuck, I make those knots all the time, they are just a "nail" knot. Called that because they are made with the help of a nail. Nails work good but I use a big sewing needle, makes it easy to pull the knot back through.


Before all these fancy line conecters, the nail knot was the best way to attach a leader to a fly line. NowI use them to put knock on my bow string.

I have made them before, if I get some time I will try and make some up. All I use is flyline backing,coffee straws, and a needle. I will take picks, and do my best to explane the knot, vary simple.

What is a speck? Is it whatthis yank would call a crappie (I dont know how to spell). Good luck on sat and check back, I mayget to making some of those in the next few days.

I just thought of thisif ya want I could draw up the knot on my paint program and send it to ya, sounds like the easiest way to me.

latter.
