Tapered leader, the old way. Video #1. Starting with a perfection loop, this tapered leader is made using a piece of 10lbs breaking strain line, joined with a blood knot to an 8lbs bs piece of line, which is then connected to a 6lbs bs piece of line with a blood knot.
Video #2 shows a close-up of to make the perfection loop.#perfectionloop #troutflyfishing#fish #taperedleader #flyfish

Maxima is amazing stuff, so resilient. I still use it but many now use fancy flourocarbons but they are prone to sudden breakages, especially if they rub against rocks etc

Nice clear demonstration there. I often use 3 turn waterknots to join the different lines when making a tapered leader, I know I should use the blood knot and just bloody practice it more 😆 thanks for the video it might have inspired me!

Great demo and you're so right about 'if it ain't broke...'. So much 'progress' is just about marketing unnecessary stuff. By the way, would you ever fish a dropper on your tapered leaders? I've messed about with various ways of doing it using the tags on my blood knot

@Stevesgonefishing 29 дней назад

When I am using the dryfly, I use one fly only. When I wetfly , I sometimes use two flies with a dropper. I use a surgeons knot for that. I might do that next. I appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Why don't you use a surgeons knot to join your lines? it's much easier to tie than a blood knot. I used to use the blood knot for years. But when i got a bit older and my eyesight got a bit dim i started using the surgeons knot. Never had it break yet.

I do use the surgeons knot for my wetfly casts, but I prefer to spend a little time,especially during the winter, to make a few of these for the new season each year. Now that I think of it. I have made them with the surgeons knot when I ran out and needed them fast. Thank you for the comment.
