Location: Eagle River, WI | Nail-knot. I bought the tool from rollie and helen's. It came with the instructions. Some guys have told me that you can do it without the tool but, I don't have that kind of talent. |

Location: Norway | I use a tube, as seen in the video: http://yankeedoodoo.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-tie-nail-knot.html
The nailknot tool is a tad easier to use tho. Practice with some cheap line first or string of some kind.

| Nice! Always thought that the nail knot was for splicing two lines together. Never considered using it to make a loop. Thanks! |

Location: Norway | Oh, and it becomes even a tard more finicky when a swivle is dangling in the way  When I tighten up the knot I have a little cup with warm water with some washing up soap mixed in or I use white vaseline. (some tips Ive gathered from the deepsea anglers here)
Ive also used a splint (like the ones you have on your propellers) when I was out in the field and couldnt find the piece of tube.

Good tip!
I tie 200# fluorocarbon leaders and use a perfection loop. Make the loop, put it over something (I use a smooth peg bolted into my work bench, a small dab of super glue on the knot and lean back pulling the knot tight. For pulling back, wrap the leader around something - ie. a hammer handle - to help give you a little extra force to cinch the knot down. I usually leave a long tag end at the swivel because when done right the tag end sticks out sideways and will act as a bit of a weed catcher. |
