Free fishing tip: Overlap 10 cm, double overhand twice (step 5 of 5 from "Three Fishing Knots That Hold").

Lay leader and main line parallel. Treat them as one rope, tie an overhand, then pass through again (surgeon). Wet. Pull all four ends. Clip tags short.

You passed when a Palomar, a clinch, and a surgeon all survive a hard pull on scrap line at the table. Then go fishing. Knots in the living room that never see water are still only homework.

Pro tip: Night bank: a headlamp and these three. Do not invent a new knot in the dark.
