I just tried it on two pieces of 4x, and it seems very strong and is
quite easy to tie. Its not as simple as the Surgeons Knot, but it has
the advantage that it leaves a linear knot, and its much easier than a
Blood Knot.

What do others think...is this a good leader-tippet or tippet-tippet
knot? I wonder if its even worth doing two or more passes through
rather than the one.

I use a tool on all the knots I tie. Otherwise, I have trouble with
my sore and stiff fingers. I use the double (sometimes triple)
surgeons knot and have very few, if any, failures. The best part
about using a tool (besides giving my fingers a break) is that I can
tie the knots much faster than most folks can - not that there is a
race....... it's just easier to use the tool.
