This a weekend warrior who is an engineer kind of over thinking a simple thing type of deal Well you nailed me right there. I am a retired Engineer but a weekday warrior thankfully. In have a real hard time doubling the line and pushing it through a hook eye. I tie a uni knot all other applications and don't suffer from knot failures. I could run the line through and double back again, and have done that many times, but the uni works for me and is easier and I like easier. I tried the knot im asking about and I myself can tie it much easier, so if I were to get confirmation from others that it works well without failures , well....that would be a good thing for me.

I just do the Palomar and run the line through the eye (if needed). David Burton 2015 Skeeter FX 21 +Ultrex +Helix 12 (x3) +Mega360 +MegaLive
