Tying a fishing leader to a wire typically involves specific knots designed to securely join monofilament or fluorocarbon line to the rigid, often thin, wire. Common methods for joining mono/fluoro to wire include knots like the Albright or a specialized Surgeon's Knot variant, or using crimps for very heavy wire.
However, based on the provided reference snippet from the video titled "Simple way how to tie wire to mono leader and to lure," the specific steps detailed describe how to tie the leader's terminal end to a lure, which is the final step after the leader has been connected to the main line or wire leader section.
Here's the method described in the reference for attaching the leader (or the end of the wire leader, depending on rigging) to a lure:
Simple Knot for Attaching Leader to Lure
This knot, described in the reference, appears to be a straightforward method for creating a secure loop connection suitable for attaching to the eye of a lure, hook, or swivel.
Steps:
- Initiate with a Loop: Begin by forming what is referred to as a "Granny's knot," which in this context creates a small initial loop.
- Pass Through: Take the tag end of your leader (or line) and pass it through this initial loop.
- Go Through the Lure: Then, take the tag end and pass it through the eye of the lure you are attaching.
- Return Through the Loop: Finally, bring the tag end back through the original Granny's loop you created in the first step.
Note: While the reference details this knot for attaching to a lure, it's important to use appropriate knots or connection methods specifically designed for joining different line types like monofilament/fluorocarbon to wire when constructing your leader system. The wire-to-leader connection itself often requires different techniques for maximum strength and reliability.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Create Loop | Make a "Granny's knot" forming a small loop. |
| 2. Pass Through | Thread the line's tag end through the initial loop. |
| 3. Attach to Lure | Pass the tag end through the eye of the lure. |
| 4. Complete Knot | Bring the tag end back through the original loop again. |
This method, as outlined in the reference, focuses on the leader-to-lure connection, which is a crucial part of your terminal tackle setup when using a leader system.
