I typically use the nail knot to thread the guides, but gravity still
wins if I let go. :-)


As Don says Joe, the loop of line will hang up on a guide should the big
G gain the upper hand. Unless you have tags or loops on the nail then
its deja vu all over again.

I'm not sure this is Frank's problem theough ... I think the tippet gets
away during the tie on process ... pull a rod length or more of line
through Frank before trying to tie on ... or stand there with the nail
knot between your teeth (if it helps to imagine it is a rose ... okay ;-)
and then tie one on.
