The blood knot is can be used to add more line to your reel spool, join to monofilament lines that are are equal or slightly different diameter, or to join your tapered sections of fly leaders. Grab the end of two lines put them toghether to where both ends are facing opposite directions. The lines overlaping each other should be close to equal length. Then take one end and wrap it around the other five times, and then the other line five times in the opposite direction. Now place both ends through the center one from top and other from the bottom. Finnally pull both lines in opposite direction of each other the knot will draw tight just be careful not to pull the line ends through. Cut off the access line and leave a short end on both sides.
