		History abounds with mention of knots, and in the eighth book of "Odyssey" Ulysses is represented as securing various articles of raiment by a rope fastened in a "knot closed with Circean art"; and as further proof of the prominence the ancients gave to knots the famous Gordian Knot may be mentioned.
		In addition to these useful knots, there are many kinds of ornamental or fancy knots used in ornamenting the ends of ropes, decorating shrouds of vessels, railings, and similar objects; while certain braids or plaits, formed by a series of knots, are widely used aboard ship and on land.
		This is a handsome and useful knot and is widely used on ends of ropes where they pass through holes, as for bucket handles, ropes for trap-door handles, chest handles, etc. The knot is well adapted for such purposes, as it is hard, close, and presents an almost flat shoulder on its lower side.

		For example, a blood or barrel knot is comprised of two clinch knots, and a Uni Knot or Duncan loop is a form of clinch knot.
		Knots to hold a fly are generally stronger if the line is passed through the hook eye two times.
		George Harvey Dry-fly Knot: Of all the knots used to attach a leader to a dry fly, this one works best for me. Use it on turned-down hook eyes; it does not tie well to ring-eye hooks.

		If the loop is to be tied round something (round "your waist" for instance) you first tie an eight then lay the loop and double the eight.
		The Bowstring Knot is an ancient knot that is used as an eye for bowstrings.
		If you use a loop (this loop) to tie a pebble or other nice stone to a neck loop without extra (visible) support it is wise to use a leather neck loop.

		A knot is a method for fastening or securing linear material such as rope by tying or interweaving.
		Knots have been the subject of interest both for their ancient origins, common use or the mathematical implications of knot theory.
		For example, loop knots share the attribute of having some kind of an anchor point constructed on the standing end (such as a loop or overhand knot) into which the working end is easily hitched to using a round turn).

	Fishing Knots
		The game fisherman need have little interest in the knots used by the trout fisherman, who, in turn, uses fishing knots that are not necessarily suitable for the bream fisherman.
		I suggest that you select only those few fishing knots that are of the greatest use to you, and practice, practice, practice tying them until they become second nature to you.
		This non-slipping loop knot is simple to tie because it combines two well known knots, the simple overhand and the popular improved clinch.

	Double Loop Knots - Outdoor Fun Store
		This knot has a long track record of use in rescue situations, so it is considered by many sailors and rescue workers to be a strong enough knot to be used when lives are at stake.
		Then create a small loop in the bight (the doubled rope) just like you would for a basic Bowline, and bring the end of the bight through the small loop.
		This knot is sometimes used as a rope method of bringing two anchor points down to one, but has not been superseded by the use of slings.

	GORP - Loop to Loop - Knots for Fly-Fishers
		Loops can be formed at the end of a tippet, leader, or line with many knots, including the Surgeon's Loop, Nail Knot, and Uni-Knot.
		Most leaders have built-in loops, and if you have a loop connector (usually a braided leader) on the end of your line, changing leaders is quick and easy.
		Connecting a braided leader with a loop to a leader with a loop forms a knot that retains virtually all of its strength.

		The knot's efficiency might change with heavier, lighter, softer, or harder line, or when the knot is attached to a hook made of thicker or finer wire.
		With many other knots, that's not true; a clinch knot's strength is affected by the diameter of the wire against which it's tied.
		The nonslip mono loop, for instance, requires you to pull in three directions: You need to maintain some tension on the standing line (which means that something has to hold the hook) while pulling on the tag end to draw up the wraps before seating the knot.

		The knot is now set and all that's remaining is to trim both loose ends as close to the knot as practical.
		This knot is much easier to tie if you replace the nail with a small-diameter tube (or something like an air pump needle with the end cut off), inserting the end of the backing line through the tube instead of adjacent to it.
		The loop knot is also used whenever shock tippets are employed, again because of the tendency of the relatively stiff monofilament to impair the action of the fly when solidly tied to the hook eye.

		The loop is strong, but a bit bulky and hard to untie, but quite handsome.
		The bad new are, that the loops aren't independent, that is, you have to pull on both loops, or else on loop will pull material from the other.
		The pull on the loops don't have to be parallel as in the previous knot.

		The strongest loop knot of all — but also the most difficult to tie — the Bimini Twist is used to create double line for pursuing strong saltwater fish with relatively light line.
		At knot connection points, the line is twisted, criss-crossed and joined with the hard surfaces of hooks, lures, swivels and other terminal tackle.
		The idea of a good knot is to maintain close to 100 percent of the test strength of the line you’re using.

		The Dropper Loop knot or also known as the Blood Dropper Knot is tied in the bight (not the end) of the line, creating a loop that juts out perpendicular to the line were a hook can be attached.
		As a general practice make sure that all knots should be trimmed so that there is no more than a millimeter or two of line sticking out from the fishing knot.
		By holding this loop between your teeth pull gently on both ends of the line, making the turns gather and pack down on either side of the loop.

	Double-Loop Knots
		The Double Figure-Eight Loop seems to have all of the advantages and disadvantages of the Figure-Eight Loop, except that it can't easily be made in such a way that you are able to pass the two main loops around an object while you are tying the knot.
		The Triple Crown is a "splayed" double-loop knot similar to the ABOK #1100 double loop and the Spanish Bowline.
		If you are an "average person" who doesn't need specialized knots (such as the kind that climbers, sailors, and so on, might need), then the Alpine Butterfly family of knots (single-loop, double-loop, triple-loop, and bends) should serve you well in a variety of situations.

	Loop connections - Using the loop system - Global FlyFisher
		I do not think that loops are the best way to join two parts of the fly line set up, but they sure are easy to use, and until you are really competent with a flyrod, you'll be pleased to know that a leader can be changed in a jiffy, without tying any knots.
		The loose loops can be bought, but they are very easy to make yourself.
		An other prossibility is to make the loop directly on the flyline which results in much less bulk and a much stroger connection.

	Triple-Loop Knots
		The only difference is that you tie the knot using a doubled rope (a long bight), then you extend the end of the bight until it becomes a third loop.
		To make this a triple loop, simply take the end of the loop which is on the left in picture 3 and bend it back to the right and push it through the knot (pictures 3 and 4).
		The Triple Figure-Eight Loop can be tied in the middle of a rope even when you don't have access to the ends of the rope, but I have not been able to find any strength ratings for this knot.

		Indeed there were no "ratcheting" loop knots given that slide open or closed to the degree desired, then locked -- a truly useful class of knot that shouldn't have been omitted.
		I highly recommended "The Handbook of Knots" as a first book on knots, and for most people it will really be all that they ever need, except for the sliding loop knot omission.
		The book is organized by type of knot (stopper knots, binding, bends, hitches, loops, plaits and sennits) and has quite a bit about rope care, use, and splicing.

		In this one, a standard method is to form a loop with a second loop behind it, then run the standing end between, reach thru the first loop and pull the second loop thru.
		As with all leader knots, wet the knot during final stress.
		This reduces friction, allowing for a tighter knot, and as friction enlarges the material, which will shrink after it has cooled, friction is to be avoided.
