[Paddlewise] A knot that is adjustable, but holds under tension?

Right now, I'm using a trucker's hitch.

Seems to me like I've seen something that holds under tension, yet can be slid
more open or closed when the line is slack...sort of a hangman's knot-looking
thing.   My Mariner Express' deck rigging had something like that.

I'd look it up, but need a name to search on.

Anybody got a name?
