HOW TO TIE THE DOUBLE-BLOOD KNOT

This knot is essentially two blood knots tied back-to-back. It is an excellent choice for creating droppers that stand proud and away from the main leader, which helps prevent tangles and improves presentation.
• Overlap and Wind: Overlap the two sections of line and begin to wind one line around the other.
• Create the First Half: Continue wrapping for four or five turns. Double back the tag (loose) end and tuck it between the two lines exactly where the twists began.
• Repeat on the Opposite Side: Take the remaining tag end and repeat the twisting procedure on the opposite main line. Pass this tag end through the initial central opening—adjacent to the first tag end—but in the opposite direction.
• Tighten and Trim: Initially pull the tag ends to set the knot structure. Clinch the knot fully tight by drawing on the two main lines. Finally, snip away the waste ends.
