Barrel knot

Also known as the blood knot, this compact bend

is highly rated for joining thin, stiff, slippery lines,
hence its popularity among anglers. It does,

however, have a tendency to jam, so be prepared to
cut the rope free if required.

1 Put a bight in the end of each line and place one over the other.
