New Knot

I ran across this knot recently, claimed to hold a 600 lb Tarpon.  Worth thinking about.  But remember, the drag on your reel is not set the same everyone.  You need the drag tight, but to exceed the line strength.  Anyway here is the knot:  it's good for small hook eyes where my 3+3 may not work.

Thread once through the eye of the hook.

Bring back the end of the line (tag end) and grasp the line and tag end with your thumb and index finger.

Wrap the tag end around  the line and your index finger once.

Continue 2 more wraps on your finger, but this time, choose a slight angle (10 degrees or so back towards your hand)

Now, slip the tag end underneath and towards your finger tip, passing those 2 angled wraps and the up

Your teeeth will have to catch the tip of the line.

Pull the line up so it is between the wrap closest to your finger tip.

Somehow, slip your finger out of the loops and close the knot.

You should end up with a strong knot with one wrap through the eye of a smaller hook..

I THINK THIS KNOT IS GOOD FOR SALT WATER, BUT YOU USE TOO MUCH LINE FOR FLY FISHING AND PROBABLY NOT a COMPARATIVE STENGTH ADVANTAGE THAN THE EASIER  3+3 KNOT  FOR BASS.  Give it a try, you might like it.
