Walt,
What took you so long....?

IMHO the clinch knot is one of the easiest to tie for people of our vintage,.....but it is a piece of cxxx...

As said above we gotta go with magnification...

And we need to practice some better knots....I'm really working on the knot thing because for me at least it has probably caused more failures than anything...

The Pitzen [aka 16-20] suggestion is a good one....and there are others...the Davy knot gets great acclaim ...but so far I think there is a good and bad way to ty it....
