The Duncan Loop is one of my most used knots when nymph fishing. Its really quick and easy to tie even with cold fingers, it is strong, and is versatile in that it allows you to make it with a loop or without. Basically its a hang man knot, or slip knot that works really well. Similar to a Fishermans knot, however the Fishermans knot is not a slip knot and will not form a loop.
Are there other knots that make loops? Yes there are, and some of them are preferred by fisherman if they want to keep that loop open even after a fish strike. However for me, the Duncan loop is perfect because it allows me to tie the same knot for a loop and also when I dont want one, which means I am tying only this knot and getting really good at it. Less chance of messing up ya know? Also, I like that cinches down when a fish strikes. I do not have any concrete proof on this, however I feel that when fighting a fish, a loop knot can cause you to loose the fish more easily as it can cause weird angles on the hook when ever there is any slack. So, for me this makes me more confident in fighting fish.
