Uses: The Nail Knot is an important fishing knot used to join two lines of different diameters - it allows for line diameters to diminish down to the fly. It provides a good method for attaching your leader, or tippet, to your fly line.
Tying it: There are several ways of tying this knot. The animation above shows the smaller line being threaded through the loops using a straw. Alternatively, the line can be threaded beside a nail (hence its name) or pulled through with a needle. Advantages: The Nail Knot is a smooth compact knot which will readily pass through the guides. |
