Would an FG knot work for this? It's very similar to nail but I've only seen FG for braided line to mono. Same idea though, main line gripping leader line.
Thank you for this video. It has helped me out A LOT. It was very confusing at first. After I watched it about five times and practiced with a non important piece of fishing string I mastered it! All thanks to you!
Hi Brian, would be nice if you could explain how to attach the butt section to the tippet. Wondering if I can use the same butt section with different tippet diameters. Thanks a lot.
Brian, have you ever seen a lathed wall? The lathe is the 1/4' thick X 2" wood strips that are wired together. Plaster or cement is held in place by the wired strips of wood. Sound familiar now? : )
Terrific instruction. I screwed up my first attempt as the leader was too short. I nailed, no pun intended, the second attempt and the third one. A short piece of stiff coat hanger works well as the "nail". Thanks!
Hi Brian, I'm pretty sure that 'Lather's Wire' is what in Canada we'd call Rebar wire. It's for tying the steel (rebar) in concrete together before a pour. Thanks for the great videos, I've learned a lot from you. Big fan of your work.
Hey there! Nice channel, good advices! On this knot now, I’ve tried it before, but 1. I was unable every time to remove the wire without messing the knot and 2. I realized that it usually sinks the coils of the leader into the fly line’s outer layer, messing it up I found that the Albright knot works better…I’m using Albright knot to make leaders from ever decreasing diameter of mono (tapering it). Yet I dislike the knots bulkiness. Would you recommend those knots for #3-5, or you would go for loops? Regards!
Since you did mention that the butt section would be there for a loooong time. Once the butt section is tied on, how do you connect your leader and then change out leaders with that setup?
Your channel had been so helpful. I was surprised with a fly rod for Christmas and I'm itching to get it and learn just waiting for this Cleveland weather to turn!
Does your fly line have a loop on it? Try this method: https://youtu.be/NjpvhmNVLnI
🤙
When you cut the loop off the fly line does it soak up water in the core?
I’m starting in fly fishing and this video make my day, thank you!

So then what? Do you tie your leader on with a surgeons knot? I'm wanting to move away from loop to loop. Thanks
Thanks for this tutorial! Was able to use an old wire hanger by snipping off a piece. Appreciate your videos!
Any recommendation as to what x monofil to use for the butt section? I'm fishing primarily trout. My instinct is 3x.

I found the Albright Knot works well with the Fly Line to the Leader. I just could not master the Nail Knot. Oh, Well.
Hi Brian,
would be nice if you could explain how to attach the butt section to the tippet. Wondering if I can use the same butt section with different tippet diameters. Thanks a lot.
I can't get over the "Click" sound you use when Brian whips out those glasses… It gets better every time!
so, if using a tapered leader you'd use the tippit end and pull that out??? or, use a short piece of 1X then tie the tapered leader to that??
This threw me until I realized you hadn't tied the tippet on yet.
im just starting and tying that looks confusing
I am new to fly fishing, your videos are excellent. I want to replace the leader, how do you remove a nail knot from the fly line?
Very helpful…thank you
What type of pliers/cutter was Brian using in this video ? Thanks

Every time I start wrapping the loop around the wire, the fly line start to wrap behind my thumb and forefinger. Is there a reason this happens?
Terrific instruction. I screwed up my first attempt as the leader was too short. I nailed, no pun intended, the second attempt and the third one. A short piece of stiff coat hanger works well as the "nail". Thanks!
Can't see if you are rapping behind the loop or in front of it??
How is nail knot on there for seasons if u have to cut the leader every time you change fly….or do u add tippet onto it…
Great vid

I’ve had nail knots pull the coating off the fly line and fail…maybe I’m not tying the knot correctly?

Love the videos very informative keep them coming.
What size is that leader line?
Nice👌
Keen as mustard to get hold of your book, Brian!!!!!!!!!
Just curious what type of fly line is that. It's hard to find brighter colors like that.

Hi Brian, just wondering what breaking stain, the leader should be.
Wow, what a colorful fly reel and line! Could see that from a mile away.
Gotta get a pair of those glasses if they can be bought as readers/magnifying glasses. My 64 year old eyes need the help
Looking forward to the video on building leaders and the release of your book!
