The sheetbend knot is very similar to the lap knot (castwell knot).
Does anyone know if makes any difference in the effectiveness of the knot for securing a looped leader to a fly line?
This page shows both the sheet bend and the lap knot

I ask because the Sheet bend seems to be a knot still in my memory from my boy scout days a few decades ago. My mine wants to tie it instead of the lap knot.
