Summary

Learn the essential technique of tying a NAIL KNOT with a LOCK for connecting fly fishing backing to fly line. As we discovered in previous tests, nail knots tend to slip before breaking. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, given that the nail knot alone is strong enough, we can mitigate the slippage by tying a LOCK. On this week's H2T, I will show you how to tie a nail knot with a lock and will put it to the test to gauge its breaking strength, ensuring its reliability in fishing situations. Whether you're a novice or an experienced angler, mastering this knot is vital for successful fly fishing outings. Watch now to enhance your skills and improve your fishing game!
