The Nail knot is probably the most used leader to fly line knot fly fishermen employ. Its advantage is in that if attaching a tippet or leader to fly line, the knot can be positioned right at the very end of the expensive fly line, leaving nothing to trim. No wastage! Tied correctly, it seats well into the fly line structure and is very secure. The method shown here requires a tube of sorts to complete its formation. Most fly fishermen are blissfully unaware that this very same knot can be tied without the tube.

There are basic rules that apply to the tying of all knots in nylon monofilament, copolymer and cofilament lines. These rules apply in differing degrees to most of the knots, splices and hitches formed in multi-strand materials, such as Dacron, Micron, braided nylon and wire or cable leaders.

RULE 1: Be thoroughly familiar with all the knots you tie and continually practice the tying of those knots.

RULE 2: Always lubricate knots before tightening them, either with saliva, water or another similar lubricant. Knots tied in nylon monofilament, copolymer and cofilament lines are highly susceptible to heat friction.

RULE 3: When tightening the knot, do so gently but firmly. Do not draw the knot quickly as this can generate heat damaging the line. Give a few test pulls on the newly tied knot.

RULE 4: If you are not happy with a knot, always re-tie it until you are satisfied. Remember that a knot is effectively the weakest link between you and the fish.
