No knot fits this job
No recommendation — every candidate was ruled out; the reasons are below. No connection survives every constraint for rope → cleat with these materials and conditions. Relax one input — usually the diameter step or the guide-passage requirement — and the surviving set will show itself. We will not invent a match.
- !Every candidate failed a hard constraint. We will not invent a match.
- !Relax one input — usually diameter relation or material — and re-run.

A knot that fails more than one constraint is counted once, against the most fundamental one. Nothing here is a score — these are the checks a connection has to pass before it is ranked at all.

The job
What is physically being joined.
Line and leader
The line decides what is even allowed.
Single-side job
This connection only needs a main line — no leader for this job. Switch to a two-sided join to declare both sides.
On the water
Only the conditions you tap count.
Leave these untapped and nothing is ruled out. Tap what you carry, and knots that need something else drop off.
Region
A starting guess for US water. You can still change every condition — it never forces a knot.
No region picked
Where you are
Water first, then how you are standing. You can still change the conditions.
Optional. Changes hands, stability and retie tempo — not the water chemistry.
