Girth Hitch Knot "Tenkara"
Lilian to Line Connection
|
|
 |
step 1:
Pull the lilian out from
the rod butt and tie a knot about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch from the
end.
|
|
step 2:
Pull a small loop of the Tenkara line
thru the Spectra connection loop.
|
|
step 3:
Pass the end of Liliad
thru the loop made above.
|
|
step 4:
Pull to tighten and snug
up against the knot in the Lilian.
|
Loop-to-Loop Connection
|
|
|
Use to connect FURLED leader butt
END to fly line with either
permanent monofilament
loop or braided loop connector;
AND or to connect THE
TIPPET end of THE FURLED leader to
monofilament Tippet.
|
|
|
|
|
step 1:
Pass the end of the fly line loop through the
larger
end of the leader butt loop.
|
|
|
|
|
step 2:
Then pass the small end of the leader butt section
through the fly line loop.
|
|
|
|
|
step 3:
Tighten by pulling in opposite directions. You can
disconnect the loops by pushing them toward each other and reversing
the process. The correct loop-to-loop connection looks like a square
knot when complete.
|
|
|
|
|
step 4:
Incorrect loop-to-loop connection. Attaching the
loops
this way weakens the connection considerably
