The Improved Fisherman Knot
Skill Level (2 star) Courtesy of Captain Johnny Fulgueira While sitting around the dock discussing different techniques, Captain Fulgueira pulled out a previously published copy of InTheBite.com Unplugged (Vol 2 Edition 6 with the improved Fisherman Knot) and wanted to show us his version of the improved Fisherman Knot. He stated that his variety was 100% strength claiming it is much smaller in diameter and less bulky.
This is what the finished knot should look like. Notice the small diameter of the knot. (We apologize for the blur)
