Trust me, this is the only knot you ever need to know to tie a hook on. I've taught it at Fly Casting Schools all over the world and once you learn it you will never use another knot.

• In most trout tippet strength co polymers it provides 100% strength. This means the tippet will break before the knot lets you down !

• You can learn to tie it quickly and without looking.

• You can learn to tie it with a very short tag end removing the need to trim the end.
• It is possible to use this knot as a loop knot to provide a free swinging fly presentation. Simply pull the knot down tight and lock it off with a nail or similar solid object at the hook eye. Remove the nail and you will have a loop the size of the nail. Do note that it will pull down under the load of a fighting fish.

Check out the following video for how to do it.
