Overall Rating: 8/10
- Great all round knot.
- It's really strong.
- Works great on all line types with a very few exceptions - nothing an extra wrap or two cannot solve. Probably one of the greatest fishing knots for thick monofilament.
- Knot can vary a lot in shape, feel and look.
- Tag may be problematic for freshwater fly fishermen. Confusion with regards to how you cinch the knot up. Tag end must be drawn to cinch knot, to ensure the lower end of the knot unwinds and over wraps the inner wraps. See our "Worlds Strongest Knot" video to see the examples of this issue in practise.
