Usage
The Surgeon's Loop is a strong, easily tied fixed loop often used with fishing line. It is a somewhat bulky but is great for making quick, strong loops at the end of lines and leaders for connecting to other loops.
Also known as
- Double Loop
- Double Overhand Loop
Structure
The Surgeon's Loop is tied the same way as the first part of the
Surgeon's Knot but with a double strand. As such, this knot uses more line than most. The Surgeon's Loop is stronger and easier to tie than the
Perfection Loop, but not quite as small or neat.
Strength/Reliability
The Surgeon's Loop retains a high percentage of line strength.
