Locked Blood Knot
The locked blood knot is one of the most popular knots for tying on a lure, swivel or hook, when using monofilament or fluorocarbon line. It's simple to do once mastered and offers good strength.
1. Thread the line through the eyelet, and create an open loop.
2. Begin wrapping the tag end of the loop around the line.
3. Continue wrapping, do a minimum of 6 wraps.
4. Pass the tag end of the line through the first gap created by the wraps.
5. Now pass the tag end of the line through the newly created gap.
6. Moisten the line and slowly pull tight, being careful to bunch the wraps neatly.
7. Tighten the knot by pulling the end tag and main line, then trim the tag off close to the knot.
