Orvis Tippet Knot

The Orvis Tippet Knot was developed by Perk Perkins of the Orvis Company, as was the Orvis Knot. This leader to tippet knot is very strong and quite easy to tie. It tests similar to the ultra reliable J Knot in strength and most fly fisherman find that it is easier to construct than the tried-and-true Blood Knot.
