Yucatan GT knot

(1/4) > >>

Brandon Pope:
This is my first attempt at tying this knot. Please take a look and give me some feedback. I am using JB Hollow and 200 Varivas to practice. Does this look bulky or loose?


I'm using 10 turns.

Mark Harris:
If you are casting through the guides, I do not think that will work.  The tied mono leader is too bulky.  If you are using a short leader and the knot stays outside the tip guide, then should be OK.

As for the integrity of the knot.. no idea really as it is not one I have used.

Brandon Pope:
Attempt number 2. 4 turns with mono and 12 wraps around loop.

Thanks Mark for the quick reply Mark.
The leader will be outside the guides (1.2m). As for integrity, I am using the knot Nick mentioned he uses in Oman. It is simple and quick, which is something I am lured by considering I will be changing leaders on rocking small boats while in Socotra. 

Trevor Skinner:
Brandon,

It's not right. I'll post some pics later, when I get home from work.


Regards,



Trev
