Not better, different. If you use a tippet ring, I suggest the 16/20 knot, a variant of this knot, which forms a double figure-of-eight. But, everyone has their favorite knot. It's what you can tie easily and reliably that counts.
Thanks. Turns out someone else also figured out this knot, so, who thought it up first is open to question, but unimportant, in the end. Have fun and stay safe.
This is the Orvis knot
Inexpensive 7 inch hemostat. Ordered in Amazon.
@petermoskovitz8783 Who makes the tweezers you’re using? Might you have a link or a model? Thnx
Is like a surgeon knot?
Is this better than a Tippet Ring? If so why?

Been Fly fishing for 25 years and this is definitely new to me. Will be trying this next time I go out. I'm always open to a better knot.
Thanks for showing us this knot!
Thanks for the help, I'm new to fly fishing I'm 17 and I really appreciate you making videos on fly fishing knots
This guy's knot game is on another level
