the small diameter monofilament) through the loop and make one
wrap .
Then wrap the backing BL around the Loop

and the BL. Use as much force as necessary.

Castwell
knot:
Described par J.Castwell (
www.flyanglersonline.com)
to link the floating , sinking line to the leader , this knot is so
simple it is hard to believe! But it hold! Must not be used for
nylon/nylon, because it would slip. |
 |
Make
a loop A in the leader (any loop above), put the line beside.
|
 |
 |
Take
the tag end BL behind the loop and over the standing line BF .
Put
the tag end BL through loop B between the standing line BF and the end
of loop A
Draw slowly on leader, tag end BL and standing line BF to
tighten the knot.
On the right, a close up before cutting the tag.

.
Here are 2 pictures of a knot between a line and
a leader. The nylon has embedded itself in the plastic coating,
thus making hard for the knot to slip.
Only to make sure, put a drop of glue on the knot!
