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.

The surgeon's is a fine knot, but the ends don't end up perfectly straight
and in line like they do with a blood knot. Because of this, when I use
the surgeons, its just to tie on one piece of tippet, and not to rebuild a
leader.
