Re: [VFB] Knots and Droppers ?

[Paul Marriner]

Jimi, in answer to your first question the knot you describe is a Turle
knot, the original method I believe. There are better ways to tie this
knot. In any event, it isn't as strong as more modern knots when used
with nylon. It was originally used with gut. Cheers,
Paul
