If you go through the eye twice and make sure your line doesn't overlap then do the traditional (clinch knot) your tying the TRILENE knot.

If you go the extra bit and run back up through the extra loop at the top that makes an Improved Clinch Knot then you are still tying a Trilene knot and using the final part of the Improved Clinch Knot.

I do the same freaking thing. LoL. There is no name for this knot and knot wars hasn't used it yet but I am sure we aren't the only two that use the trilene knot and just put that extra (improved) bit by putting the line up through the top loop.
Guess it should be called the (Improved Trilene Knot).
yea?
edit:
By the way Trilene developed this knot specifically for MONOFILAMENT line to keep it from slipping. You need to leave at least 1/8 of an inch when cutting the leftover line after the knot is tied.
And be sure that the second loop through the hook eye doesn't overlap for this knot to secure properly.
