I was getting a new job on a commercial dragger one time and the captain approaches me on deck as I’m handling some line and asked me seriously if I could tie a bowline. I bust this flying one out thinking I was slick and got the interview ‘cinched’. The captain stares at it and looks at me and goes: “never tie that fucking thing on my boat again” and walks back into the house without another word🤣
Actually although it’s Called a Bowline (Tug boat bowline) it’s actually a form of a Angler’s Loop. The reason people say it should not be used as a replacement of a actual bowline is not because it will come undone as it probably won’t. It’s because it can’t be undone under load or even after it is loaded without much difficulty. A bowline is the king of knots because it can be undone as easy as its tied. BUT it is a useful knot when you need a loop fast (like before you toss a line to a man overboard) it’s not really a bowline but it’s a knit that could save your life. (Or someone else’s)
Thank you for the raw speed! I was looking for this in a non slowed down version. You nail it and make it look so elegant and beautiful as it should. Good job teaching 🐘
Tying this knot is like doing a magic trick lol. This is also the first actually good tutorial of this method that I've seen. You can't imagine how poorly and inscrutibly some people try to explain this method. Thanks, matey!
I love rope, I love knots and how many different functions each one has and this is like chocolate to me😂 I cant get enough of learning new ways to tie knots! Thanks for this bro 🤙
The angler's knot, perfection loop or flying bowline is perfect for very thin fishing lines. A heavy loaded perfection loop in a f.e. sailing rope is impossible to untie. Cheers
@@tonyloechte9994 No, that's completely another knot and has nothing to do with inside or outside end. This is a perfection loop or Angler's knot, that's completely different. There are 11x different bowlines you can tie, but this is non of them.
@@WingNutMike yeah, it’s funny, I learned this knot, this way, from a Cadet at West Point when I was there at a Boy Scout Camporee…he called it a mariners hitch, and I searched for a long time on YT and finally saw it done by a tugboat guy…took awhile longer to realize it was a Perfection Loop, just quicker.
You can make two more types of loops using this method. If you wind the rope end around twice, you'll get a symmetrical double dragon loop. If you twist your left hand (palm side down) and pull the right ear through, you'll get an angler's loop (perfection loop).
He should mention that his instructions are only effective with this line that he is using, you have to change your lengths for different diameter lines and for stiff lines.
I knew some European search and rescue guys that called it the rescue bowline. A fastly assembled loop that could be thrown to someone in next to no time. Definitely not a true bowline, but a good skill to have on the menu for just in case scenarios.
I know it as “tugman’s bowline”. Used to quickly make a loop to pass to a dock hand to go around a cleat on the dock, so the dock hand isn’t responsible for the knot. I also use it in fly fishing for the back end loop on a leader, known there as a “perfection loop”.
This is the same knot for making an eye on a fishhook leader. No idea what it is called, but I learned it on a day fishing boat when I was a wee lad, several decades ago. Won’t slip with monofilament.
A "Flying Bowline", as you call it, is apparently a much different version of a Bowline. Personally i can't ever imagine differing from the Bowline for this version.
I learned this from a Finnish boy in boyscouts, he MELTED everyone's brain tying this faster than anyone could blink. He said it was normal to learn this as a child to save you during a fall. Personally I wouldn't relish being bifurcated by bowline, over being splattered by shale.

Because he had never seen it done so easily before .
His brain going , WTF !!!!
Because its not a bowline
If I was on a boat then this is exactly how I’d want my captain to act. Anything else is tawdry and unacceptable.
That's hilarious
Not a bowline actually…was taught to me as a tug boat bowline….but not….one handed bline woulda been just as fast and a bowline…

Great knot thanks for this , . explanation was great and I got it first time , then repeated it another 20 to be sure to be sure.
I saw a boy scout dad do this 20 years ago (he was former navy), I tried to find it on Google years ago but couldn't, thanks for sharing!
That’s because it’s the wrong name.

Glad you enjoyed! Hope you will win some points with this boaters party trick 😎
Back in 1988 an old timer Ironworker showed me this , and I’ve been using it since.

I was an arborist for 25+ years and the bowline is a staple knot used all day long. As cool as this looks its not a true bowline.
Yes, true. A "flying bowline" is also referred to as an angler's knot.
The angler's knot, perfection loop or flying bowline is perfect for very thin fishing lines. A heavy loaded perfection loop in a f.e. sailing rope is impossible to untie.
Cheers
Yep the tail should be inside the loop 😊

Flying bowline.
Now that surely has to impress the ladies 😉
В первый раз такую вязку вижу. 👍
Ashley’s Book of Knots calls this an Anglers Loop or a Perfection Loop.
You are correct sir. Still one hell of a cool way to tie a perfection loop!
@@WingNutMike yeah, it’s funny, I learned this knot, this way, from a Cadet at West Point when I was there at a Boy Scout Camporee…he called it a mariners hitch, and I searched for a long time on YT and finally saw it done by a tugboat guy…took awhile longer to realize it was a Perfection Loop, just quicker.
I don't think it's a perfection loop though. It would be a "Tugboat B" loop.
@@craigmcqueen7992Correct.
Outstanding.
I always wondered how the Dutchman got his handle.
Really, awesome!
Is this knot really the corellation?
You can make two more types of loops using this method. If you wind the rope end around twice, you'll get a symmetrical double dragon loop. If you twist your left hand (palm side down) and pull the right ear through, you'll get an angler's loop (perfection loop).
That looks like a better not, thanks.
You could also just tie a normal bowline.
He should mention that his instructions are only effective with this line that he is using, you have to change your lengths for different diameter lines and for stiff lines.
Finally someone who shows me this fpv.
Not a bowline.
My grandfather was in the navy he taught me this but he called it the rollin bowline great vid
Thank you! Nicely done!
that is such a cool knot.
Aka, "angler's knot" or "perfection loop".
Why so many friggin names for 1 knot
I believe I have heard this called "angler's knot" and it's actually a much better knot than a bowline just harder to untie.
Harder to untie totally defeats the purpose of a bowline
A traditional bowline is still a stronger knot! And easier to untie after being under load. Cheers!
Just when you think you know how to do a bowline. There's a better way!
Thanks for sharing.
Nice job. You make it look so easy 👍
Я обожаю эту петлю !!!Именно за молниеносный способ вязки !!
Excellent, I’ll win the fastest bowline tying contest at the Marina, picnic this year with this tip.
We are glad you'll get to use it!
Not a bowline.
Also called a tugboat bowline. A PO2 showed me this one when I was in the Navy.
Well instructed my friend 👍
I knew some European search and rescue guys that called it the rescue bowline.
A fastly assembled loop that could be thrown to someone in next to no time.
Definitely not a true bowline, but a good skill to have on the menu for just in case scenarios.
Cool! Thanks for sharing! 👍✌️🇬🇧
That was easy :) Thanks, learned something today
Nice! I subscribed just cause ya made this short! 🎉 p.s. sounds like you say grab the bitter end perfect! .🎉🎉
Well executed!
Got it on my first try, using about 3 feet of paracord! Very cool! Thanks!

Correct , and it is not a Bowline.
Incredible, truly a lost art keep it up
This is the same knot for making an eye on a fishhook leader. No idea what it is called, but I learned it on a day fishing boat when I was a wee lad, several decades ago. Won’t slip with monofilament.
Did this about 10 times, got the hang of it, quick and easy, hopefully i remember it
WOW!!
I just hope I can remember that when the spinnakers whipping around…
Learned this from Shipyard Riggers. Very cool.
Awesome!
Cool stuff. I've found that if you throw a double loop around it, it will lock in place and not be a slipknot.
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for! Thank you
wow! this elephant nose method even more funny than bear gyrlls ribbit up the hole n around the three method. both are very great idea. 😱👍👍👍
Nice video, thank you
That was awesome
Awesome 😊 fun, Thank you
Should do this in slow motion
My most used knot and you just made it soo much easier...
Awesome 😎
Awesome buddy!
That was smooooooth.
I was taught this as a Scout, but it was called a steamboat hitch.
Perfection loop
Looks like a perfection loop
Skills!!!
That's really fun to do.
This looks more like a perfection loop. It's used for fly fishing
That is freckin awesome!!
This is fantastic !!
A "Flying Bowline", as you call it, is apparently a much different version of a Bowline. Personally i can't ever imagine differing from the Bowline for this version.
I intuitively agree, but I haven’t tried this version
could be handy I spose
Yes, it is different. It is also called an angler's knot.
Pretty cool captain
thank you
Magic I tell ya,... Magic!
Wow!
I learned this from a Finnish boy in boyscouts, he MELTED everyone's brain tying this faster than anyone could blink. He said it was normal to learn this as a child to save you during a fall. Personally I wouldn't relish being bifurcated by bowline, over being splattered by shale.
INCREDIBLE!!!🎉
That’s amazing dude!
Dang thats quick. Now i only need a stool
That'd be a perfection knot
Almost, but not quite. The tail end goes through the other way.
Well that's pretty neat
The bowline is permanently wired into my muscle memory. I literally use it every day. I have to learn this method.
This is a more permanent knot known as the perfection knot or the anglers knot.
Fun fact: this is one wrap away from a double dragon loop; a close relative of a perfection loop.
Dude thats so cool
I remember being taught that 40 years ago. Back than it was called throwing a bowline.
COOL !!! 👍
Awesome knot
excellent!
Finally!!! Thanks Captain Phinn!
Real cool . Thanks
That is knot a bowline
I knew a BM2 in the Navy who could do something like that to tie it one handed and with his eyes closed.
Classic!❤
Cool!
Whoa!!
This is so cool 😎
looks cool but it isnt a bowline
Its not a true bowline, but a "flying" bowline. It is very similar, and it is still considered to be a "bowline".
Волшебник!👍🤔
Perfection loop for fishing mono lines that is. 😂
I was taught it as the wharfies loop
Cool.
As impressive and cool as this looks, I don't think that is a true bowline.
Very cool, but if a down rigger ever sent me that knot I'd make sure they weren't on the next gig.
LOL. 100% never send me this knot or you're fired.
That is the coolest
I'm gonna practice that
what do you use this knot for or what applications/situations are optimal to use it in? thanks in advance / for sharing!
How can this be used?
That's fancy
my grandpa ran tugboat for the Navy after he served in WWII. He called that a Tugboat Boline
Exactly! thats what I call it.
How come it looks like a PERFECTION LOOP and NOT a bowline???
...even the manner it is tied is very much like the perfection loop.
Classy.
That's so much easier to tie it that way.
