~ Ii ANGLER'S LOOP

Also known as: PERFECTION LOOP
The angler's loop is known to have been in use
since the 18705. It is, as its name suggests, most
frequently employed by fishermen. In
addition to fishing line, it call be tied with string
or fine synthetic line . Authorities differ about
whether it is a suitable knot for rope. It is
difficult to untie, which may militate against its
use at sea, and it is prone to jam. It is also a
rather bulky knot.
