The Florida Everglades make up one of the most well-known and treasured American National Parks. They are also being “strangled” by water issues. Since the damming of the Kissimmee River, the Everglades’ primary source of freshwater, this beautiful fishery has seen “endangered wildlife populations, declining water quality, water mismanagement, [and] extensive urban and agricultural development,” according to Captains For Clean Water, a conservation organization dedicated to restoring the health and natural beauty of the Everglades.

The Two Turn Blood Knot is a knot designed to tie 2 different diameter lines together to form a very strong connection. This knot can be used with or without a Bimini Twist.
We use this knot quite often for tarpon leaders in the Florida Keys, but it could create a great connection anytime that you needed to tie a shock tippet or to attach two lines of different pound test or diameter together.
I began using Blood Knots (also called Barrel Knots) when I was a trout fisherman and guide in the Rocky Mountains. I much preferred this connection to the Surgeons knot that many others liked. The Blood knot is a sleek compact knot that pulls straight and does not catch vegetation or the rod guides.
