Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more. Take the tag end of the backing and run it through the rod guides and attach it to the reel spool or arbor with the appropriately named arbor knot. To do this, first make a basic overhand knot around the line.
Using the leader line, loop up to eight coils back around the fly line, the nail and the leader. Using the nail as a guide, run the leader line back under the coils. Hold the loosely-gathered knot with one hand as you withdraw the nail with the other hand. Pull on both ends of the leader line to tighten the knot.
