It is the rapala loop except the rapala loop has an extra pass between the standing line and the tag end that is sent back through the knot. Just like the difference between the clinch knot and the improved clinch knot. Rapala:

Interesting that you say that it may be tuff to make the loop small. I find trying to make the loop on the surgeons loop small harder. But I have not tried making the surgeons loop smaller in the same fashion that you describe. Thank you for that. I will have to give it a try.
