It looks complicated, I think I'll stick to a tucked half blood knot :) :)

I remember having tried this knot for weedy conditions on trace swivels or lure connectors because of the neat streamlined tag end but I gave it up after a while, it didn't really make a difference and took me twice the time to tie it when I was sitting in a boat which was acting up in the waves like an unbroken gelding first time out of the barn :lol: Anyway, I'm totally content with the uni knot, I can tie it blindfolded under any circumstances, (well, most ;) ) just make sure to clip off the tag end closeby and you'll be grand.
