Jimmy Houston knot?

[Skspacemonkey]

Does anyone know how to tie the jimmy Houston knot? I've heard it is the best knot for all lines. Thanks

Welcome to the site.

The 'Jimmy Houston Knot' is a Pitzen Knot tied with the line doubled.  You can find illustrated instructions at

That's a good knot but there is no one knot that's best for all applications(as with lines, rods, lures etc)

If there's one knot I haven't tied, it probably has no name (I've tied a few 'no-name' knots too).

Although there's a truckload of great knots, there's no one 'Best Knot', just the best knot for 'you'.
