In my experience, this is the best knot to use for fly fishing or most any other kind of fishing where you don't need an open loop knot. I have completely forsaken the clinch knot for the Pitzen. it's much stronger than the clinch knot.
I must agree with you! The only knot that I have found better is the Eugene bend and it is quite similar. I still use the clinch knot for attaching droppers but tie the Pitzen to the dropper itself.
Slightly different as you don’t pass through the loop near the hook eye first. SD Jam knot is for heavier lines. Thank you for your comment and interest.
I've watched MANY "16-20" Videos.....Yours is outstanding ! Thank you !
Hand/finger position !!!!!
Thank you! Teaching fly knots for 25 years one finds what works for consistent strong knots!
Very helpful - thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!

Seems same as a SD Jam knot, just3 wraps instead of 6
