Difference?
Hello,
First, a McDonald Brummel is a specific way of making a locked Brummel by using just one end. If you have access to both ends, then the knot is easy, but in many applications the other end is unavailable, or too much bother to use.
The McDonald Brummel also allows you to make multiple locked Brummels. You would do this if a line was unspliceable, due to toughness and/or the absence of suitable tools. Done correctly, you get about 75% efficiency.
Other than that, I don't know what you mean by drawing the eye through the tail.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
