THE REEL KNOT
This is a simple and reliable knot which can be used to secure backing line to the reel.
For added security, take the backing round the reel drum twice before tying the knot.
After pulling the slip knot tight, trim the loose end but not too close to the knot.

THE LOOP TO LOOP
A simple and effective method of attaching a leader to the fly line, avoiding the wear and tear on the butt loop which might result from the repeated tying of knots.

THE PERFECTION LOOP
This is a reliable leader loop which lies in line with the leader and the loose end can be trimmed very close to the knot.
The Perfection Loop is not as difficult to tie as it seems at first sight. Use the thumb and forefinger of the left hand to grip the knot while manipulating the loop with the right hand.
