Knot question

[USMCbassman]

Here is a video of the knot I was referring to that I use with flouro:

Maybe what makes it a PITA to tie is the fact I add one more step in there. I run the looped end through the "bottom" loop (between the eye of the hook/lure and the bottom of the twist) and then back through loop where Shaw finished this knot off in the video. I've been using it for some time and have not had a single knot failure.

Double San Diego Jam Knot, Shaw.

Shane that's my go to knot.
And I tie it exactly the way YOU do!
It for me is 'cumbersome' in the field and in the wind.
I've probably tied it 500 times and there are still times in the field that the knot tightens when slide it down to tighten before the hook eyelet.
A lot of my knot tying is done in the water in the elements.

So you got a pole under one arm trying to keep reel out of the river or water then tying the knot.
Part of the reason I stumbled on these knots was in an effort to simplify my knot tying in water.
Great knot.

The only thing I know about this knot is that the fly-fisherman I know, and I know quite a few, ALL CAN tie GREAT, STRONG knots.
If a fly guy says it's strong, well I have a tendency to believe.
