I don't know. I like to get a decent grip and twist the tag end around my finger.

Anyway, even if it's three inches, that's about 2 1/2" more than doing an Orvis Knot (my favorite) or a clinch.

Rather than the Gryp knot, I've been more intrigued with the double nail knot to connect sections. Generally, I now use blood knots forthe thicker sections, and the Orvis tippet knot for the thinner sections.
