Naked Brummel or McDonald Brummel

[Alan S Bomar]

Ok I have some questions about the McDonald Brummel
McDonald Brummel vs. a Naked Brummel. Why would one use the McDonald when a Naked Brummell is so easy the a splicing tool?

Also, why does the McDonald Brummel require so many loop? It seems the knot is locked in by a single Brummel pass. What is the issue with using less than 4 loops?

In the McDonald Brummel, why make the "eye" In the line to pass the line eye through? It seems that the line eye could just pass through the line.

Before this post, I did make a McDonald Brummel and using fid and a line to draw the eye through the tail was a quick technique

I look forward to the replies.
