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 #mayfly #mayflyfishing #spentgnat

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!

Interesting to watch I have been lucky enough to fish the May fly for about 40 years the last 10 or so with Fluoro I was just pondering why I don’t I go back to nylon is it my memory playing tricks or did it not tangle as much or break this year I seemed to be making up another tippet more than fishing would be interested in comments.

Thank you for your comment. This has been part of my routine since I started to mayfly fish. I quite enjoy making these leaders during the winter . Oh yeah, and store them in the dark. Never tried the fluro but happy to stick with the ultra green.

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

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 2 месяца 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.

@stevesgonefishing Месяц назад

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.

Is the perfection loop for high break strain only, my loops are snapping using fulling mill masterclass fluoro, wichwood ghostmode and airflo sightfree all in 8lb

@stevesgonefishing Месяц назад

I use the maxima ultra green only and use it down to 3lbs for the river. I don't use the fluoro but don't forget to wet the knots before you pull on them.

@SGT_Gunnery_Hartman Месяц назад

@@stevesgonefishing cheers for reply, im drooling all over the knots when making them off. Soon as i get any hard takes from rainbows the line is gone. Only started to use it to protect the welded loop on my line but back to blood knots but faster wear n tear on the line
