Only this step

Overlap the two lines by about 20 cm, facing opposite directions.

Common mistakes
  • • Same turn count for braid and mono — braid always needs more.
  • • Pulling the tags instead of the standing lines when closing.
Keep in mind
  • • Bulkier than an FG; fine for leaders that stay outside the rod tip.
  • • Keep diameters within about 3:1 or strength drops sharply.
