IN THIS VIDEO, George Anderson demonstrates his method for tying the Bimini Twist, a complex but high-strength knot, in preparation for completing a tarpon leader that provides maximum tippet strength. He also shows how to finish the double line with a Surgeon's Loop that is twisted to hold the loops together. "Bimini Twist and Double Surgeon's Loop" is from "Terminal Tactics for Fly Fishing" (Reel Action Media, DVD, 150 minutes), Anderson's guide to tying most of the essential knots used by fly fishers today. The DVD features chapters on knots needed when tying leaders to flies, lines to butt sections, leaders to tippets, and backing to fly lines and reel spools, as well as options for constructing quick-change saltwater leaders.
