I routinely use this knot to join tippet to leader. I also use it to attach the leader to the butt section. I do not care for the oft used loop to loop joining of leader to butt section (I use a longer butt section of at least a foot or longer). I have not had this knot fail. Simple to tie. Fairly easy on frozen fingers…just make sure to bring the smaller tag end through with the longer tippet each time. Cut the shorter tags ends close to the knot. Excessively different line diameters are more difficult with this knot.
Pat, go to the search box upper right. Click on it and text should disappear. Enter ‘knot’…I see two pages of entries. I know a few are specific to knots. Good luck.

My dad taught me the Duncan loop and I too use both. Show more knots anywhere here?
