Forget the little overhand knot at the end and this
knot will fail every time, it is absolutely essential.
As you pull the finished knot tight, the overhand knot
slides down tight to the arbor. I recommend using two
loops around the arbor, many reels are very smooth
and the extra loop gives it enough friction to prevent
slipping. Give the final knot a few good tugs to set it well.
