An angler's loop is a type of knot which forms a fixed loop. Useful for fine or slippery line, it is one of the few loop knots which holds well in bungee cord. It is quite secure but it jams badly and is not suitable if the knot will need to be untied.

Angler's loop may be tied

Start with a loop near the working end

Continue with two loops around standing end

one large and one small in the middle

Pull the large loop over the small (working end) and through the first loop

Tighten pulling in all three directions.

Angler's loop may be tied around the hand, it may also be tied this way one handed, or with several loops if need be:

Hold the working end, loop the standing end 3 times around the palm

Pull the outmost loop inwards under the first two

Pull the next outmost over the one(s) in the middle and under the now innermost loop

Pull the now innermost loop(s) and the standing end to tighten.

Done.

Overhand knot on standing part and half-hitch by the working end.
