Knot for backing to fly line?
 

i am having trouble getting a good connection from the backing to my fly line. i am using Teeny 750 line. what would you recommend for a knot?

a nail knot is what i use

bob :cool:

I put a loop in the backing and the fly line, then loop to loop them. I use a bimini twist for the backing (not as hard as you think) and the fly line I double the line over and put two nail knots about a half to an inch apart. Use 6 to 10lb test mono for the nail knots, this way the mono digs into the fly line coating. You could then coat the nail knots with pilo-bound if you want to make it slide thru the guides easier. I have never had a problem and have tested it while catching hardtails.:btu:

i never had any problems with an albright knot

I'VE BEEN USING NAIL KNOTS COVERED WITH A THIN LAYER OF PLIOBOND (FOR SMOOTH TRANSITION THRU GUIDES) FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND HAVE'NT HAD A FAILURE YET.

I use a nail knot loop in the line and a bimini in the backing...
