  • thats some newbie shit =P ALL about Palomar !!

  • this is crap, slips every time! usseless for fishing!

    you want to loose your fish, this is the knot for you my friend:)

  • thats a very easy knot to tie and i for one will be using it in the future..cheers

  • Don't worry kid it's not a secret. It's called the Davey Knot developed by Davey Wotton, fly tyer and guide on the White River in Arkansas. Most fly fishers know about the knot. It's a simply modified version of the Figure 8 and Pitzen Knot. Videos are all over You Tube on how to tie it.

  • this knot sucks. i just tried the knot and it fail. the knot came undone at the eye loop

  • I like the palomar also and use it in most instances when not flyfishing, but this is actually a really good knot and better than the palomar for many flies. What good is a knot when you can't run a double line through the eye of the hook??? Don't be close-minded people.

  • 100% strength that's 100% CRAP the Palomar is A Far Superior Knot !!!!

  • I'd learn another knot if I were You! Good video.

  • Thats a knots for girls!!!

  • i blinked 

  • It is "The Davy Knot was created by Davy Wotton from the United Kingdom" (basicly a Figure-8). See flyspoke's "Davy Knot & Double Surgeons Knot" for some more info.

  • This knot slips every time :(

  • I do not trust this knot, the easiest and 100% trustable is palomar knot, cause it doesn't slip and has double line in hook's eye.

    Thanks. M.R.B. Brazil

  • it looks like a figure eight knot to me

  • single strand Surgeons loop......been around forever

  • useless knot for monofillament it slips every time

  • @panser12 Sorry for that comment, was just fooling around while you showd the knot with some fishing line around a pencil. Tried it later down on the beach tying a sinker and some hooks and it works very well. SORRY again.

  • Tie yourself a noose and swing from it ya poof

  • palomar knot better

  • Using monofilament tippet this knot slips very easily.

  • Maggotdrowners sent me here.

  • Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna try this with various lines and see what happens.

  • Thanks for posting this. To me, the knot looks like the beginning of a 'timber hitch'. I use the timber hitch for fastening one end of my bowstrings, although I would generally wrap the tail end several times. The timber hitch is also used in situations where a lot of strain comes on a rope because the knot is relatively easy to loosen and undo after the strain is released (e.g. towing logs with a tractor). I must try tying a hook with it. Best wishes from New Zealand... Stephen Coote.

  • thanks for the knot mate ill use this next when im fishing, nice vid !
