A nail knot tool is handy to have when you need one but it’s also nice to have the ability to tie a nail knot without the need for any tools.
The added benefits are you don’t need to worry about bringing a nail knot tool with you every time you go fishing.
It’s actually quite easy to tie the nail knot without the need of tools. It took roughly 1 minute 30 seconds in the video and you can probably do it in a minute with practice.
At the end of the video I also show options on how to secure the knot further.
If you’ve ever wondered how strong the nail knot is, I’ve used it for fishing sailfish to join fly lime to backing line. And if you know sailfish, the fly line is outside the reel most of the time when you are battling the sailfish so a strong connection is crucial.
