Recently, we posted an article explaining how to tie a nail knot without using a knot tool, tube, or nail. However, we received a few suggestions that a video would aid best in explaining this method. We couldn’t agree more! Here’s a quick video on how to tie a nail knot using nothing but your fly line.

Wondering why you would ever need to tie a nail knot these days? Check out why here.

    nail knot is very slick!! Soundtracks on both are super and should be credited – your type font on the shrimp tie needs to be larger and bolder, fly should work super on shad-Thanks for the tips! LL
