Angler's loop

An angler's loop, otherwise known as a perfection loop, is a type of knot which forms a fixed loop. Useful for fine or slippery line, it is one of the few loop knots which holds well in bungee cord. It is quite secure, but it jams badly and is not suitable if the knot will need to be untied.

Angler's loop may be tied
 * alone and then used,

 * Angler's loop may be locked additionally with half hitches


 * Angler's loop may be fashioned with several loops (then locking may be necessary)
