Default Knot to replace Blood Knot?

Here is a knot for consideration and testing. I never committed the
time to learn to efficiently tie blood knots, but many years ago
started tying a clinch to clinch knot for my tippet connections.

That's a terrible knot. Did you learn it from Wayno? :-)

It may test strong when freshly tied, but it will soon weaken because of
the tight 180-degree bend around the clinch-knot loops.

Learn the Surgeon's Knot, dude. It's easy.
