3 Turn Blood Knot
July 3rd, 2009
The Three Turn Blood Knot is commonly used when tying up a chod rig using ESP Stiff Rig Bristle Filament . Because the bristle filament is so thick and stiff most other knots are just too difficult too tie. Ordinarily I would not recommend a blood knot as it is a strangulation knot, but for this purpose I and many others find it more than adequate. It is also handy because it is quite easy to set the length of your chod rig with this knot. The Three Turn Blood Knot is tied to the ring swivel of the chod rig. In this demonstation I am using size 9 ESP Uni-Link Carp Swivels. Ok, on with the demonstration.
Step 1
Thread your stiff rig filament through the uni-link swivel
Step 2
Loop the bristle filament round the uni-link swivel
Step 3
Holding the uni-link swivel and the loop whip the tag end around the main hooklink going away from the swivel do this three times.
Step 4
Bring your tag end back and thread it through the loop at the swivel end
Step 5
Moisten the knot and bed down, cut off the tag end leaving a small tag
