What you want do is:
- Grab the end of your leader and with the braid form a loop over the leader with a long tag on both.
- Pinch and hold that loop.
- Alternate wrapping the tag end and main section of the braid around the leader in a criss-cross pattern.(Repeat this 4 times)
- Bite the end of the leader and tighten the braid to lock it down.
- Alternate wrapping the tag end and main section of the braid around the leader in a criss-cross pattern.(Repeat this 4 times)
- Bite the end of the leader and tighten the braid to lock it down.
- Alternate wrapping the tag end and main section of the braid around the leader in a criss-cross pattern.(Repeat this 4 times)
- Run your fingers down the knot and if it is locked down propperly none of the loops should move.
- To lock the end use 6 alternating half hitches.
- Now finish that last bit of tag with a resuto finish.
- Trim the tag end leaving a bit more on the leader.
- Use a ligher to melt the end into a small ball to prevent any of the loops feeding off.
EXPERT TIP
If you are using really heavy braid, use knot tensioners to really clinch down that last little bit.
