No offense, but I don’t see how that is easier than the palomar knot (at lease once you get used to it) plus the doubled line in a palomar seems like it would be a lot stronger. I suppose if the trouble is getting the doubled line through an eye, then your method might be easier, and does look more resistant to unraveling than a fisherman’s knot. Kudos on the creative thinking.
Looks very easy to me. Have you had any on the water experience with it yet?
For anyone following this thread and have tried and tested the knot, thank you. I made a small change to the knot and it seems to be stronger then before. For anyone wanting to see the improved nuke-knot goto the same page and see the second video. The video is pretty crappy but knowing how to tie the original you’ll understand what to do http://outdoortipsandtrips.com/Fishing/Nuke-Knot.html
