This Month’s Feature:
**The Blood-Knot Dropper
A dropper line above your fly, lure, or bait is the perfect way to rig split shot. When you snag, the weight will pull free and you’ll keep your terminal tackle.
Knots for Camping and Hunting
**The Running Bowline
Use it to hang gear, drag game, or form a snare. The beauty of this knot is that it does not weaken rope and is easy to untie.
