@4:10 "I take it"... "I kink it", and then "double overhand" and I am so completely lost! Makes sense to you and prolly those with experience. But, have no idea how to tie a tarpon leader after watching this a few times. Maybe slow it down and do some close ups?
There are plenty of videos on how to tie the improved Homer-Rhodes knot. I tie the second part as another figure eight knot so you basically end up jamming two figure eight knots against each other.
+Jake Osentowski Since he didn't answer, no you would connect the 15"+ section of 16lb class tippet to a butt section of usually 5-7' of 50lb or so mono or flourocarbon. Many will use a bimini at this connection, but some use another blood, double uni or slim beauty.
