Uses: The Double Surgeon's Knot is used to join two lines of moderately unequal size, e.g., a tippet to a leader. It is an easy knot to learn and tie and allows you, with the same leader, to select the size of tippet to suit the size of the fly.

Tying it: The Double Surgeon's Knot can only be tied with a tippet as the entire length of the tippet has to be passed through the overhand knot.

Triple Surgeon's: As an option, the two lines can be passed through the overhand knot a third time to form the Triple Surgeon's knot.

Advantages: The Double Surgeon's Knot is an excellent knot to join two lines of moderately unequal size.
