Please help. I’m having massive difficulty tying the whipping knot using 20lb IQ2. I’ve followed loads of tutorial videos on YT and about every 1 in 3 attempts I can get it to cinch up properly and it looks really neat. The other 2/3 attempts fail, resulting in me wasting a couple of foot of material. This method of tying it seems to be the most common, but trickier way.
I have also stumbled across a video on FB by Rob Burgess, filmed during lockdown, which demonstrates a “much simpler” way of tying it. I cannot, no matter how hard I try, get this way to work, at all…ever! I really really want to learn this way of tying it as it really does look so simple, but he keeps swapping from one hand to the other and then back again, so quickly that I can’t keep up. Also doesn’t help that he’s facing the camera, so it’s kind of back to front if that makes sense. Does anyone know of a tutorial video for this method of tying, but filmed from the tyers point of view?
Any help much appreciated, cos I really don’t know where I’m going wrong with what looks like such a simple knot.
Many thanks.
