Re: [VFB] tippets and knots?

[Jimmy D. Moore]

Not quite.  I take an extra step and tuck the tag end back through the 
loop that I made after going through the double loop in the eye of the 
hook.  Then I wet it with my mouth and cinch it tight against the eye.  
Click on the URL below and you'll readily see that I add the extra step 
on number 3 by tucking the tag end through the loop just made.  Then I 
pull it tight.

Sounds like you have reinvented the "Trilene Knot".  At least that's 
what folks at Trilene call it.

I use Orvis tippet material.  My knot to attach a fly with is the 
improved clinch  with one variation. I run the tippet through the eye 
of the hook twice and then proceed with the improved clinch knot.  
Running the tippet twice through the eye makes the knot stronger 
since there is two lengths of tippet holding the eye.  I've never had 
this knot come untied and it doesn't  affect the casting of the fly.  
What do I call it? Double-eyed improved Clinch .
