Informative video. Great job. Never even considered using this for my flies. Definitely going to try it. Thanks. I’m a new fly fisherman, that probably explains a lot. Hahahaha. 😎🤙
Thanks for posting. I was using some 40 pound mono for a leader to use for large catfish and needed a solid loop end. A simple overhand loop knot, the kryston knot and the perfection knot slipped out every time. This does not and I will be using it from now on. Thanks again.
The best fishing knot is a simple knot that works for every tie you need to make - the uni-knot. Tie your lure with a uni and you have a super strong, ADJUSTABLE loop. The uni is a slip knot, so the loop will remain at the size you choose until the fish hits. When hooked up, the loop closes on the ring-eye of the lure. When you've landed the fish and are ready to cast again, just slip the knot back a bit to re-open the loop.
I used the uni-knot for everything for years until a friend showed me this knot. The uni has the tag facing forward and catches weeds, this the tag faces back and doesn't catch anything. Makes a huge difference if you fish grass and weed lines.
That's the Trilene Loop knot. We use it for inshore fishing with Pline CFX leader material. I don't recommend that knot with mono cuz mono doesn't hold up to the stress point of the knot as well like fluorocarbon does.
