Thanks for that Allan:

Prob. though is that it will slide tight after the very first fish (I should
be so lucky!). I think there is another knot albeit similar that would hold
it in place always. Any other ideas??

That's the only one I've heard of, Reuven. I keep hoping someone else would come up with
something.


I've dug through a lot of knot references, and the Duncan Loop is the only one I've found. It seems to me we had a speaker once (Dave Whitlock) who said he used the Duncan Loop.
"And I let the fish tighten the loop for me when I'm fighting it."

And somewhere in the back of my mind (rather dense, so it is hard to find it exactly) I think I remember him saying that you could loosen the loop again after you took the fish off.

That's been too many years ago to be sure. It's worth a try. My problem is that I can never remember the knot long enough to remember how to tie it when I get on-stream,
so I use the old standby Improved Clinch Knot.
