How to connect a line to the Honryu rod
In this video, I’ll show you two simple ways to connect a line to the Honryu rod.
The first way is by using a chichiwa knot. Chichiwa knot is a fixed loop knot.
You make a loop with a double figure-eight knot and attach it to the rod tip.
It’s simple, quick, and very easy to do.
The second way is by using a slip knot, or cowboy knot.
This method works especially well if your Honryu rod has a metal tip instead of a lillian top.
Since the metal tip has a narrow groove for the line, there often isn’t enough space for the doubled line made by the chichiwa knot. That’s why the slip knot can be a better option.
