ABSTRACT:
A device which facilitates tying knots, particularly blood knots joining sections of a leader for a fishing line, includes a flexible frame having a base and left and right legs which project away from the base, there being a gap between the two legs. The frame carries a post which projects from the base into the gap intermediate the two legs and may be extended or retracted and even withdrawn. The legs carry winders which rotate about a common axis. Each winder has a hollow interior, a winding arm located at the gap, and a gripping sleeve remote from the gap. Lines or lengths of leader are inserted through the hollow interior of each winder and engaged with the winder arm of the other winder. When the winders are rotated, their arms twist the lines around each other, but the post forms a separation or opening in the wound region of the lines. The tag ends of the lines are inserted through the separation to produce a blood knot which is pulled tight. The device may also be used to produce a clinch knot for connecting a leader to a fly. The tying device may be mounted on a spool carrier which presents leader material or line of varying diameters for use in producing tapered leaders tailored precisely to one's needs.
