Attaching
The Flying Lines To The Kite
How to make a
larks head knot and attach it to your kite's tow point(s):
|
Take the loop at the kite end of
your fly line and hold it in your Left hand so that the loop is open like a basketball
hoop. Take your Right hand's thumb and forefinger and insert them into the top of the open
loop in the fly line. Once your thumb and forefinger are through the loop spread them wide
apart. Note the sleeving on this line. |
|
Rotate your
right wrist so that
your thumb and finger are now pointing skyward, you should notice that both your finger
and thumb have a loop of line around each of them. |
|
Touch the tip of your thumb to the
tip of your forefinger. Using your left hand, slide the 2 loops of line up to the point
that your finger and thumb are touching. |
|
Until you're familiar with making
the knot, you can slide both loops onto your index finger. Your larks head knot is
complete and you're ready to replace your index finger with the tow point of your kite.

The Kite's "Tow
Point":
|
Slide the lark's head over the knot
at the end of the kite's tow point. Tighten the larks head and slide it down the tow point
until it stops at the knot.
You're done! |
