Earlier mention was made that if the two lines to be joined
vary greatly in their diameters, the lesser line may be
doubled at the knot, or the Surgeon's Knot may be used.
In the latter case, it will probably be necessary to have
one of the lines rolled on a spool, or perhaps wrapped
on a temporary card, so that it may be passed through
the loop. |

- Lay the two lines against each other, overlapping
about 22.5 cm.
- Working the two lines as one, tie an Overhand Knot.
It will be necessary to pull one line (say the leader)
completely through this loop.
- Pull the leader through this loop again.
- Pass the other end through the loop.
- The formed knot can now be worked into shape.

| There are excellent resources on the internet with variations to many
of these fishing knots. Lagooner.com is working on bringing
you our favorite versions of these knots over the next few weeks.
NOTE: If you go out fishing with Pastor Rocky Vanhoose of Island Community Church. Make
sure you tell him that he's tying a Surgeon's Knot all wrong. Then look at the official IGFA
version of the knot, practice it and show him how.
