Castwells line to leader knot.
« on: June 22, 2007, 01:11:55 PM »
Lots of people ask me about this knot so I thought I'd put it on here so I can tell them where to find it easier.


It might not look like much but this bad boy has holding power.


And here is a perfection loop.
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

When Mike and I were fishing a few months ago my Orvis loop broke when I hung up on some stuff in the Caney. He told me about the knot and I watched him tie it. He even told how simple and I didn't think it would hold that good. Well, I have fished since then, caught fish and hung up and that sucker just holds.

Thanks Mike for turning me on to it!!  :)

I tie my perfection loop a little different but will learn that one so that I have another knot in the arsenal.
