30. Fisherman’s Loop
Also known as: Middleman’s Knot, Fisherman’s Eye, Englishman’s Loop
This is another fixed loop that can be tied either at the end or on a bight.
Composed of two Overhand Knots, it is simple to tie but a little tricky to get
the size of the loop exactly as desired.
Uses: general-purpose tie-off or hanging point; fishing tackle
Pros: easy to tie; relatively secure
Cons: hard to make with a small loop; difficult to untie in small stuff; may slip
