Be warned, some lines do not like the blood knot. I used the blood for some 25 years whilst using maxima line with no issues at all, ever. However, since switching to other lines from Berkely, Orvis, Stren, Daiwa, Frog etc etc I have had to switch to the Grinner knot.
Basically, and this is just my theory, a stretchy line like Maxima is ok with the Blood, but modern low stretch/flurocarbon lines do not like it as it is a "strangulation" knot..ie, the harder you pull the more the line is pinched and thus weakened. Stretchy line seems to withstand this better.
