I have never been able to get consistent strong Davy knots. When I have done knot strength testing a good share of the the time it would slip. But the video explains how to potentially avoid the the slipping. One of these days I will have to try some more testing to see if that fixes my issue.
For that reason I have always used the Orvis Knot which is a little more complicated but is also a very small knot. I get very consistent results with it plus my knot testing has proven it to be a very strong knot.
I like the use of the electrical test clip. I always have one of those attached to a zinger on my vest to hold size 20 and smaller flies while changing flies or tippet.
