I use the Wilson pro-knot for all my knots. Just like the looks of it better than anything I've tried..

I started using Pro knot on your recommendation and have been very satisfied with it. I guess I will trust your recommendation again and give it a trySo did I until just recently. Give it a try on your next string job and see how it works out for you. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I think the Pro knot is a great knot and really easy to tie off, easier than this one. But I think this one works well in eliminating drawback. Works especially well with poly string. I dont think you can go wrong with the Parnell, Pro or VS starting knot. And if you want to use this one for a starting knot it should work well for that too. I don't think the Pro and Parnell knots would work well for a starting knot.
Does this work for tie offs where there is little space between the main and cross? (Six One Tour two-piece cross tie off)
The pro knot works fine as a starting knot if you're not directly pulling tension on it.

Not sure what you mean by pulling directly. I would think you would want to pull on the top cross is that is what you mean.
^^Yes I guess that is true but you sure would have a loose top cross string. Especially if using a poly string. I would prefer to use a starting clamp on the top cross and tie it last.
So basically the only difference between this and a Parnell is that instead of after performing the first OUT, you go OUT again below the top hitch and not through the top hitch?
The pro knot works fine as a starting knot if you're not directly pulling tension on it.
^How do you start crosses (using a pro knot as an example) without pulling direct tension on it?
I tried this knot tonight, and it's a nice and tidy knot. Looks cleaner than the Parnell even. Pic of it below:

My normal Pro knots just don't looks quite as...neat:
Nonetheless, the Pro knot is easier to tie, and is more compact. Regardless, thank you for sharing the new knot, Irvin.
Yeah, the difference is to be found on the front:Now that I've seen it, it's same as a Parnell Knot, or a screwed up Parnell knot. The diffference is the tail is closer to the frame than a regualr Parnell.
Here are Parnell Knots I did in the past:
