The Orvis Knot was invented by Larry Becker in a contest held by the Orvis Company to find the best knot for attaching line to a hook. Therefore, it is also known as the Becker knot. It works well with any weft material and with both heavy and light lines. It is a strong, small, lightweight and reliable knot that is easy to remember for attaching a hook to a fishing line. It retains almost all of the original breaking voltage of the line.
