How to Tie the Double Davy Knot
- Thread the line through the hook eye.
- Form a loose loop with the tag end passing over the standing line.
- Bring the tag end behind and through the loop, then wrap once more around the top leg of the loop.
- Moisten and pull the standing line to tighten the knot against the hook eye.
- Trim the tag end closely.
Pros

- Still very fast and compact
- Reliable with a wide range of tippet sizes
Cons
