Drying Fishing Line and a Knot | |

Drying Fishing Line and a Knot
By R. T. EEVEN
Take two empty wooden spools and drive either a screw or a nail through the hollow center into the side of a wall at such distance as you wish (ordinarily some five or six feet apart), so that you can stand and pass the line over one and then over the other, and back again without having to move, letting the line run off the rod onto the wooden spools. This spreads the line out, so that the air will dry it, and yet it never comes into contact with any metal substance.
The other ‘kink” is how to tie the two ends of a silk line together so they will not slip. Tie an ordinary single loop in the end of one line. Run the other line through this, and then tie a similar loop with this end around the other line. Draw the knots tight around each line. Then catch the lines and pull them until the two ends are drawn together. It will be found that each single knot locks the other so that it cannot slip.
No doubt many of your readers have used each of these “kinks,” but ,there are others who have not, and they may be of service to them.
