The Knot With No Name (Mono to Leader) Tutorial

One of the stronger mono-to-leader connections out there is a knot that I’m not sure has a name, so we simply dubbed it the “Knot With No Name”.

Since it’s so easy to tie while also being extremely strong, this is a MUST-KNOW knot for anglers who use mono lines and need to connect them to stronger mono/fluoro leaders.

It actually is the combination of two different strong knots (the Perfection Loop and the Orvis Knot) to create a sleek and strong mono-to-leader connection.

This knot is great for a few different reasons. I really like it because it is:

Easy to tie
Very strong
Great for lines of very different diameters

In this video, I show you the step-by-step process to tie the Knot With No Name.

How To Tie The Knot With No Name
Step 1: Tie A Perfection Loop At The Tag End Of Your Leader Line
Step 2: Cut The Tag End Of The Perfection Loop
Step 3: Thread The Tag End Of Your Mainline Through The Perfection Loop
Step 4: Tie An Orvis Knot To The Perfection Loop Using The Mainline
Step 5: Cut The Tag End Of Your Orvis Knot

The Knot With No Name combines two great knots to make one powerful line-to-line connection.

When it comes to strength for mono-to-mono connections, the Surgeon’s Knot comes out on top, but the Knot With No Name is a close second.
