I too use a blood knot a lot, although I don't tie mine anything like on that site, I tie them like 2 improved clinch knots on the opposing line.

I use the blood knot instead of a swivel in small, snaggy stream, as it saves money and is about as strong any anything. Quicker than tying two improved clinch knots too.

I have found a way to tie those solid tie mooching rigs so that the trailing hook doesn't get cut off in the eye of the front hook, just tie a base of leader on the front hook using the bumper knot - that way the trailer line won't pull down into the eye and break off thumbs

The fishing was GREAT! The catching could have used some improvement however........
