For quick reference, that is the same as the Arbot Knot, which is commonly used for tying a fishing line to a reel spool.

Slip knot, Pressik knot and Trucker's Htch:

In terms of great knot sites,

I found http://www.animatedknots.com very useful. Its good for both left and right handed users. It has a commentary on what are the advantages of one knot over another for any particular situation. It also has recommendations when NOT to use the knot.

As for a short list of notable knots that form a list of useful knots to know how to use, I find http://notableknotindex.webs.com very useful.

Thanks.
