size of cord and length is a bit irrelevant as its good alround loop knot and ties well in most ropes, its especialy good on the marlow bull ropes I prefer a splice for my climbing terminations but know loads who climb with it, makes a good sliding loop knot (running bowline) for light rigging ( I prefer slings)

 

and great for hanging up the ropes at the end of the day!

probably get shot down for this but i dont like it,

 

too complicated to tie, and can be hard to undo, i use an anglers loop instead

 

If you push the loop up at the back it comes straight open. Not shooting you down tho bud climb on what's best for you I think, I hate those spliced ropes most love em:)

I use this for everything!, tying on, rigging, as a running bowline. It only loses 30% of the ropes strength, is easy to tie, can be tied one handed (with practice!) and is easy to remember!
