is the sheet bend as good as the castwell?
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.
