Trying to tie my own leaders so I had to learn the Blood Knot and man I'm wishing I bought the commercial tapered leaders. The knot looks simple but it is awkward to tie.
I was wondering if you could just tie the two parts of the leader together using two clinch knots or improved cinch knots. Anybody tried this?
You could tie one clinch knot on the first piece of leader and tigthen it down enough so that it leaves a loop but does not fall apart if you let go. Then with the second piece of leader you would thread the end through the loop of the first knot and then tie another clinch knot. You would tighten the knot by pulling on both leaders and voila!.
