I tie the bagging into the running line with a nail knot then put a little varnish on it. If you need to replace the rubbers anytime it is simple as the bagging is tied in. Slip the castration ring on the pole.

Either side of the knot tie a clove hitch.

Slip over pole.

Pull the clove hitch up.

Either use a bit of soapy water or i spit on my hand and slide down pole to required height.

 

 

 

Then just do them all like that.

The knot i ues to tie the net to the running line. You can use a trimmed down cotton bud.

 

 

When you have established where your bagging wants tied in to the running line (have a mark on running line with marker pen) you can use this knot. No mark on this running line as just demonstration purpose.

Lay cotton bud along mesh and running line.

 

 

 

 

nailknot036.jpg

 

Lay tying string along mesh etc

 

 

 

 

nailknot037.jpg

 

Make about 4 or 5 turns around

 

 

 

nailknot038.jpg

 

Feed tying string up cotton bud.

 

 

 

 

 

nailknot039.jpg

 

Draw string through

 

 

 

 

 

nailknot040.jpg

 

Ease out the cotton bud

 

 

 

 

 

nailknot041.jpg

 

Gently pull either end of string to draw up knot, you can gently roll the knot between index finger and thumb to bed it down.

 

 

 

 

nailknot042.jpg

 

 

nailknot045.jpg

 

 

Pull up tight (tighter than this) then trim off, then i coat with nail varnish.

That seems a good idea, I wonder where you got the idea from? :hmm::whistling:

It is the knot fly fishermen use for attaching fly line to backing or you can put the tippet on with it aswell, i dont know where it orginated from or for what purpose but has been used on fly lines for decades. I think it is easier to do with feeding the string through a cotton bud as opposed to easing a nail out and feeding the string through the gap left, well is is for me anyhow.

When used on the fly line the knot tightens under pressure and grips the slippery fly line.

Probably you mate, if you are who i think you are. Been using the knot for fly fishing for years but tying on in the running line was on a net i bought i think from you. Thanks for the idea, never said i thought of it, just trying to help the fella out.

Do you have to tie mesh on to running line? If i dont wat will the effects be?

 

 

No, i have watched dvds of people not tying it in, it would work the same. Tying it in was on a net i bought and is far better to me as if the rubber breaks the mesh is tied in so a new rubber can be put on easily and will be in the correct position.
