Quick take

An aluminum and brass tool designed to tie blood knots and barrel knots quickly for fly fishing leader construction.

The EZ Tie is a compact tool for forming blood knots, handy for joining tippet to leader or building your own tapered fly leaders. It is small and light enough to clip to a vest on a lanyard ring, so it stays within reach on the water. A metal body keeps it corrosion resistant, and written and graphic instructions come in the package.

Best for

  • Tying blood knots to connect leader to tippet
  • Building custom fly fishing leaders
  • Streamside leader repair and adjustments

Skip if

  • You prefer hand-tying all knots
  • You only fish single-piece leaders

Strengths

  • Lightweight design clips to vest with included lanyard
  • Constructs small, straight knots that pass through guides smoothly
  • Corrosion-resistant aluminum and stainless steel materials

Trade-offs

  • Blood knot tool skill requires practice to master
  • Aluminum parts can bend if dropped or crushed
  • Limited to blood and barrel knots only
