Tying it: When trimming the tag end, leave about an eighth of an inch for security.
Advantages: The double wrap of line through the eye takes some of the strain and may be responsible for claims that this knot retains a high proprtion of ideal line strength. This is more likely when the thickness of the eye is greater than the line diameter.
