The Slim Beauty Knot (Wire to Mono)
One of the most useful knots to know for toothy fish!
Toothy fish require special gear. While many pre-tied leaders are available out there, we do not recommend trusting someone else’s knots! Most guides prefer a butt section of hard monofilament followed by wire.
The guides will almost always tie your knots for you, but if you want to have the knowledge on how to rig your own bite guard, below Pete Kurtzer from Orvis shows us how to tie the Slim Beauty Knot. (Take note of using old fly line to practice!)
