I believe the knot your looking for would be the Blood Knot. It's primarily used for two line of same diameter but you can vary the diameters if needed.<br>here's the link <A HREF="http://www.fishingcairns.com.au/page6-1.html" target="_new">http://www.fishingcairns.com.au/page6-1.html</A><br><br>Good luck and keep fishing....Gamakatsu <*(((><

I usualy go loop to loop. when using two diferent sizes of line.<br><br>or<br><br> use a polimer not tied to a barrol swivel. whith this you can tie on any size lines together you like.<br><br>tie the swivel to your second line first then to your main line..<br><br>personely I dont like to tie the same size lines together. I like my second line to be at least a pound or two smaller than my main line.<br><br><A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> <br>Lookie See what the kids are up to.<br>Dave T.

Hey KYBasser, goto stren.com they have a section with illustrations on knots and such. Hope this helps. Make the switch use Stren. <br><br>

Hello KyBasser,<br>For a complete line of reference charts of all knots, I definitely recommend outdoorcharts.com. All their charts are laminated and waterproof, perfect for a tackle box. They have detailed knot tying, bait rigging, how to catch'em, gps, and all kinds of other charts for the tacklebox. We use to carry them in our on-line store (they were one of our best sellers) but don't since the launch of the new store. OutdoorCharts.Com carry the complete line, Sports Chalet, and Kmart carry them but its pretty hit and miss with what they stock. Definitely check'em out:<br><A HREF="http://www.outdoorcharts.com" target="_new">http://www.outdoorcharts.com</A><br><br>[laugh] How about a good laugh?<br><A HREF="http://www.bigfishtackle.com/comics.htm " target="_new">http://www.bigfishtackle.com/comics.htm </A> <br><br>Mike H
