English Knot

The English Knot is a simple line to line knot which is tied with two overhand knots over two standing parts. Both standing parts are then pulled together until the two overhand knots meet. While quick and easy to tie it is not a good fishing knot with nylon or slippery line. It is better used in light rope, twine or cordage applications. In the case of nylon based lines used in fishing and if a particularly secure join is needed, then a Double Uni knot or Double Centauri Knot is a better option.
