Not to be picky BobP, but the San Diego Jam knot you put the tag end through both the loop between the hook and the bottom of the wraps and then also the loop at the top, whereas the reverse clinch knot which Alton Jones uses you only bring the tag end back up through the loop at the top, not the loop between the hook and the bottom of the wraps. I prefer the San Diego Jam on my braid and the reverse clinch on mono/copoly. Both work well, although I am paranoid on the braid and put a dab of superglue on the knot to prevent the tag end slipping, even though it probably isn't necessary. Here are links to the two knots:

I just joined the fray, as you see, but I will take up this invetation as the topic is never old. I agree it depends on the product you tie. I saw the knot wars and did not entirely agree with the results after my own experiences.

When super lines first became available it was found that the wraps often cut through the knot, so you needed more lines under the wrap to support it.

I took the challenge and and created a knot that works in the super lines, braid and fused lines but not to good in mono. I believe it is 100% strength in most applicartaions.

I submittted my knot to In-fisherman and it was reviewed by Mr. Stange, The Kramer Knot, was published in the In-fisherman, March 1995 edition.

This illustration is directly from that publication, belongs to them I believe I am allowe to use it since I created it so here is...
