The lasso, or hangmans noose is the neatest way of mounting hard baits like pellets on a hair rig. It's quick and easy to tie, as show here by top match angler Darren Cox...
I learnt how to the this knot from the original upload by Darren Cox years ago and I can honestly say it has improved my catch rate when fishing shallow ten fold. Won plenty of matches on my local circuit in Essex using it, so a big thank you goes out to Darren Cox for taking the time to share his knowledge.
