blood knot
Angler's line join
A blood knot is a fishing knot used to join two lines of similar diameter, forming a compact, symmetrical connection.
The knot is made by wrapping each line around the other multiple times, then threading the ends through the center.
It's prized for its strength and streamlined profile, passing smoothly through rod guides: He tied a blood knot to attach the tippet to the leader.
