Bowline......They don't call it 'the king of knots' for nothing.<br /><br />It is strong. It does not untie itself. It can be untied after a stong load. You can make it with one hand.

Bundy: All but one that answered your question suggested the Bowline, reason for this is no matter how much strain is put on the knot it will still untie. Just remember the formula. "The Rabbit comes out of the hole, [loop in other hand]. Around the tree [tag end of rope], and down the hole". You'll never have to use you knife again. Happy Fishing, Hal

Re: what knot?

I have been looking for literature on tieing knots. anyone know where I can find some good illistrations? I always use this theory:<br /><br /> "If you can't tie a knot, tie A LOT!"

And it's not a rope. A rope is a rope until it's intended for or touches a boat....then it becomes a line (or a bight or a rode or a sheet or a painter or....)

Yo Capt. Mike,<br />The question was what's the name of the knot, not the name of the rope.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty
