San Diego Jam Knot
The San Diego Jam Knot has got to be the best named knot there is, just love the name, it even mentions food. That’s got to be a good thing. Great story to the knot also is the start of the name, where it was made famous by the Tuna fleets fishing out of San Diego, and they would use the railings to the captains disgust I bet, for holding the hook end while making the knot, kinda like a 3rd hand. Possibly one of very few modern knots that manages to tie monofilament, dyneema and spectra braid and flurocarbon with much success.
