Fishing line braided knotting device

A method of creating a braided knot for joining two fishing lines comprising the steps of:

• providing a first fishing line and a second fishing line;
• providing a fishing line braided knotting device comprising:
• a base,
• a pair of posts, each post being attached to and extending substantially perpendicularly from an upper face of the base proximate to a respective opposed end of the base, the post comprising:
• a lower portion, and
• an upper portion, the upper portion being circumferentially smaller than the lower portion defining a ridge, and
• a pair of fasteners, each fastener being attached to a front face of the lower portion of a respective post;
• looping the first fishing line around the upper portions of the posts, such that two loop sections of the first fishing line extend substantially in parallel between the posts;
• attaching the first fishing line and a first line tag to a first one of the posts using a fastener attached to the first one of the posts;
• attaching the second fishing line to a second one of the posts using a fastener attached to the second one of the posts;
• selectively positioning a second line tag around the two loop sections to knot the second fishing line to the first fishing line;
• and
• wherein the step of selectively positioning a second line tag around the two loop sections comprises:
• looping the second line tag six times in one direction around the two loop sections;
• forming a tag loop in the second tag line;
• looping the second line tag six times in an opposite direction around the two loop sections;
• pulling the second line tag through an opening between the two loop sections adjacent to the second one of the posts;
• positioning the first line tag through the tag loop;
• grasping the first line tag and the first fishing line in a first hand;
• releasing the fastener attached to the first one of the posts;
• grasping the second line tag and the second fishing line in a second hand;
• releasing the fastener attached to the second one of the posts;
• pulling the first fishing line and the second fishing line in opposite directions to form a partially tightened knot;
• wetting the partially tightened knot;
• and
• pulling the first fishing line and the second fishing line in opposite directions to form a tightened knot.
