pescados 1 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 This is " not " my idea, I seen it on TV long time ago but thought that those who don't know might find it useful.When tying knots, loops and hooks the end which is trimmed leave it a little longer.Than with a lighter or match heat the end for a moment or 2.You'll find a little ball will form and if it was strained to the maxthe little ball will prevent the line being pulled out and loop etc coming apart. :)It works well for me, hope it does for you too. :icon_cool: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madforfish 0 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 We used to use this method in the uk for tying a leader to the main line , we called it the blob knot , Melt the end of the leader which gives the knot a smooth apperance so when you cast the knot went through the rings smoothly. works a treat.cheers mff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
