Nice! I'm astonished how easy and how strong this is. Good for failing eyes. I like your second one too. I've seen more than one version of the double davy--this is the one I like. I recently purchased a knot tool that works like the piston style hackle pliers. This tool makes it easy to tie both knots in bad light.
I prefer a loop knot for Crease flies and poppers but I do make a point of tying it small. With all knots I think it's a really idea to test them out against other knots because confidence plays a huge part in knot selection.
@@petermorse5442 thank you Pete. I might have to pay closer attention to how I tie my loop knots I think. As always, love your content and i look forward to more of it.

One of my favorite knots when tying to a fly or other hook eye. I’ve heard the second version called the “Double Davy”.
Hi Pete would you use that in a saltwater application for things like crease flies and poppers where I prefer not to use a loop knot?

@@GB-cm6yy Thanks - haha, might have to do a loop knot clip then.
Thanks Peter. It would be really interesting to hear your take on various set ups, pros / cons. Nice to have it home-grown. Cheers PP
