Great video. One of the best I’ve seen. Suggest one improvement though – A black background when tying might help improve visibility on some knots. That said, your movements were very still visible compared to most other videos. We’ll done.
The blood knot is what I use.
Please improve your Vedio making. We Understand nicely but can't see Clearly your knotting.
Watching from New Delhi India
I am fairly new to the bass scene. Been fishing for 45 years. Mostly a saltwater guy from San Diego. I saw you tying the SD Jam knot and I was surprised! I have been using this knot for a long time but have never seen anybody use it in fresh water except me. Very cool! I wanted to add a few things from my knowledge base for all to try. One thing is that if you are targeting large fish or in heavy structure and know you will be pulling hard you can tie this knot with the line doubled through the eye. Similar to the way you would start the palomar. Loop on one side with both tags on the other side then execute the SD Jam. Its a super strong version of the Jam. Also when fishing with live bait like I do in the ocean sometimes or want extra action from your artificial, you do not have to cinch the knot down all the way. You can leave it a bit loose to allow the hook more action and then when you set the hook on a fish it will close down for you. Its a fun trick. I hope this helps. PS. I love all you boys are doing for the sport. I have greatly benefited from your videos! TY and keep up the good work!!! Paul Giacalone
Can I like this video more than once?
Would you use the heavy line method or light line method for 30lb braid and 15lb flouro?
I don’t understand the blood knot’s lack of popularity either. I’ve been throwing the blood knot since the mid 90s and can’t think of a time I’ve ever had one really, REALLY fail on me. They’re easy to learn, thin and require no tension to tie. The only way I’d abandon the blood knot is if an easier, faster knot somehow came along.
I mostly use the uni knot. what are your thoughts on that knot? I also use it to connect other line to my main line like a lead or backing for the reel.
Been using the uni knot for all my braid connections, so far works well.
Thanks guys for all your videos. I am transitioning from fly fishing for years to spinning and this information is excellent.
Have you tried the FG knot to tie leader to main line
Great video, thanks much!
On future videos could you tie the knots using a black background my eyes aren’t what they used to be.
Quick question. How does your modified San Diego jam knot compare to the double San Diego jam knot?? I tend to use the double San Diego jam knot when tying on my hollow belly frogs but with braid sometimes it's hard to tell if you've tied a good knot or not
When it comes to finesse fishing pay close attention to the info at 5:22 was out fishing earlier today and had a bad leader knot slip due to rushing rather than taking my time to tie the knot. Had a fish suck down a drop shot TRD and after fighting the fish for a while my knot slipped when I applied too much pressure on the fish. Knew it was the leader knot when I reeled the line in the end of the braided line was coiled/curly letting me know it was my knot
Great video, I have had such a terrible time with braid and knots coming loose.
The knots through the guides are vulnerable. Double true if you are using one rod continuously fishing cover/structure. The line you pull over the wraps and through the gap of the knot before cinching down is begging to get banged around and beat up from cover/ structure and the guides and level wind. Micro guides just make it worse. If you are fishing from the shore pulling lure and catch uphill through structure it's really dicey. First person who invents a thin indestructible butt splice for braid to leader will be very rich. Use a short leader in rocks and it's just a different peril because the braid will disintegrate when the fish puts pressure on a rock. This is true about any brand.
For those of use who can't justify or stomach expensive floro in these treacherous conditions , going up in rod strength and using copolymer (with a short floro leader if you must) is a good way to go.
The point is match things up with a good balance for reduced breakoffs and hookset, visibility , hook, rod, line. Plenty of ways to get there….Source,…..I learned the hard way.
Genius.👍
That blood knot does NOT come out! Was pulling 3-4lbers out of heavy reeds and that knot didn’t slip even the slightest. I fish from a kayak and I dragged my anchor before that knot will come out
I think one of the reasons people avoid tying the Blood Knot is because it requires more hand dexterity to tie. Its a little tricky with small diameter monofilament lines. This is one of the first knots I learned how to tie when I was a kid. It's a very strong reliable knot when tied correctly.when tested it was just as strong as the Double Uni Jam knot. The Blood knot feeds through the line guides smoothly and unlike other knots you can trim the tags ends flush with the knot.
On your modified Palomar and your modified Sandiego why would you not use a snelled knot in that situation if you don't want something to slip?
Is the blood knot stronger than the FG knot
What knot to tie using 16-20lb fc100 shock leader to 50-65lb suffix 832 for swimbaits or topwater?,im going to use a 10ft leader and dont want an issue with a knot through the eyelets
Matt, know you did this video a while back, so I hope you see this post. I think I have the blood knot down, but I am noticing after tightening the knot down, that there are some "inconsistencies" in the floro next to the knot (feels like possible burn spots or bends in the floro) and I am wondering if that is typical when tying any knot or if there is a way that I can get there to be less "movement" in the floro when cinching down the knot?? I am going 11 wraps with my 15lb braid and 7 wraps with 8 lb Floro. Thank you for the time and response. Sincerely, Nick
Matt with the light line blood knot on spinning rod setups do you T-shot or at least make sure your knot starts on the spool ? A lot of times my Alberto will make a lot of noise going through my guides.
Ok, out of everyone I follow on YouTube I would expect to get the best answer from you guys about why I should switch to braid (or pretty much any fishing question I may have). I've fished for 30+ yrs and have only used mono. The main issue I'm having is along the lines of "a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link". With straight mono or fluoro, a bad knot would be the only weak link. I hear everyone say to use braid with a leader and not straight braid. My thinking is if I'm using 30lb braid connected to 14lb mono, I now have the potential for 3 weak links 1.the connection knot 2.the 14lb mono and 3.the line-to-lure knot. Even with perfect knots, my line is only "as good" or "as strong" as the 14lb mono….So why not just use 14lb mono? Also…With all of the hype around braid, I mainly hear negatives. "You need a leader because braid is easy for the fish to see..", "The connection knot will weaken from banging the the guides…", "You need to change all of your hooks so they don't bend out…", "You have to fight the fish differently because the lack of stretch makes it easier to lose fish…", "You need to be careful tying knots because the braid will slip…" If it's as good as the hype…Why does it seem so bad?
I have been using the San Diego jam knot for the past 2 years and I tie it different though, I make the raps around the line then go through the loop where your pinky finger was. Haven’t had any issues yet. May be called something else I don’t know. Like the advanced knots though. That’s pretty cool.
I know this is an older video but would like to say the blood knot just works… found a easy way to tie it from a different youtuber …. https://youtu.be/y6AY-MJcrB8
Thanks for getting me to try the blood knot Matt. The blood knot was actually the first leader knot I ever learned. When I recently got into using braid I used the Albero that is supposedly superior. I found that sometimes when using very light line the braid would cut through my mono or fluoro when the knot was stressed. Not a problem with the blood knot.
What is your opinion about fireline?
What do you cut Braid with?
Coulda sworn I commented here before. Thanks for the blood knot confidence builder. People are pushing the FG. I like the Blood better
How many wraps of each for 20lb braid to 8 pound fluorocarbon using the blood knot?
