Impressive Now let’s see you do a size 24 Ah canal fishing 😊

I find 7 turns is enough, I’ve never had one unravel or ended with a pig tail after losing a hook, the line snaps at the loop or just above the spade.

Fair do's to anyone who can tie a spade by hand, especially anything smaller than an 18. I've no chance even with a 12, my fingers are too far gone.

Try doing a knotless knot on a Drennan Super Specialist size 12 with a hook eye. You can't. The line won't go through the eye twice. This leaves pre-made traces or tying your own spades.
