Always looking for a better and faster way to tie a tippet to the hook.

In Holbrook & Koch's book Midge Magic they demonstrate this knot.

They state the knot won't slip or part.

It looks easy and a quick tie.



Who has tried this knot and does it hold as they claim?

It is almost like an Orvis Figure 8 knot, except that the
loop is formed downside toward the eye of the hook,
where the Orvis is formed away from the eye, the tag end
exits in opposit directions.
