Tying two lines together
Blood Knot
1.Lie the ends of the two lines against each other, overlapping about 6 inches.
2.Take 5 turns around one line with the end of the other, and bring the end back where it's held between the two lines.
3.Repeat by taking 5 turns around the other line, bringing the end back between the two lines. These two ends should then project in opposite directions.
4.Work the knot up into loops, taking care that the two ends do not slip out of position.
5.Draw the knot up tightly.

The Uni-Knot
A better join can be made using one of the Hangman's Knots, also known as the UniKnot. This is a knot used for attaching the line to the spool of the reel.
1.Overlap the two lines about 6 inches.
2.Using one end, form a circle that overlies both lines.
3.Pass the end six times around the two lines.
4.Pull the end tight to draw the knot up into shape.
5.Repeat the process using the end of the other line.
6.Pull both lines to slide the two knots together.
