Be sure to wet ALL knots before pulling them tight or you will get

thank you for that *constructive* information. 'preciate it. the fella

at
app anglers did tell me to wet my knots before pulling them. he wetted

them
with saliva.


You can find out how to tie all these online with a google search. Practice
with a piece of rope, if you have one. Also, don't forget the arbor knot for
connecting the backing to the spool, and the one for connecting the backing
to the line, which I cannot remember the name of.
