Help me name this knot

[ted4800]

20 + yers ago I went to a fishing seminar, There I learned to tie a Knot and I don't remember the name. I hope that i can adequately describe how to tie it so that someone will recognize the knot and help with the name.

Pass the tag end through the hook or lure and bring it back up 1 1/2 inch above the hook or lure. Hold the lines together parrellel and come back down toward the lure/hook. wind the line around both lines three times and then the tag end goes back through the loop at the top. Pull tight.

I use this knot on both braid and mono. Has served me well for over 20 years. If anyone knows the name please let me know. I have searched the internet and a book I have of ropes and knots and haven't been able to find it. thanks in advance

It sounds like you are describing the reverse clinch knot. Here is a link to a video of the reverse clinch knot to see if this is what you are talking about or not.

P.S. The reverse clinch knot is a great knot and I tie it quite a bit.

Ted,

The knot you are describing also sounds to me like an abbreviated version of the "Six-turn San Diego Jam Knot". Please take a look at the reference site below:

and see what you think.

Carolina-rig-01 and HarveysMinnow Thanks so much for your help. It is the same knot with two different names, The only difference I have always only gone around the line three times and do not recall ever breaking off at the knot,

Thanks again so much for your help now I know what to call it when I am teaching someone to tie it.
