The Surgeon's Loop is a reliable and easy-to-tie fixed loop knot, primarily used in fishing to attach lures or hooks securely. It retains a high percentage of the line's strength and is ideal for loop-to-loop connections. The knot is formed by doubling the line and tying a double overhand knot, making it quick to tie even with thin lines.
