I'm trying out weighted line. I want to tie it to a 30 lb backing

to use might be a nail knot, but I'm having real trouble tying that
guy. (old eyes, probably). Is there another way anyone wants to
recommend?

Same question for copper line.

Thanks

I have never tied weighted line, but tying double nail knot joining
line, is easy with the little "cheap" knot tool I designed

http://ezknot.com/line2line.htm for directions
the basic knot directions are at
http://ezknot.com/Howto.htm

You can use other tools besides my EZKnot, but you will find the knot
much easier using it, and it cost much less than other knot tools.

I can tie these knots without any tool, it just took a lot of practice,
or you can make your own tool, if you have the time, and skill
