A very simple way to tie a strong loop knot that will give more movement to a fly or lure while trout and salmon fishing, especially on rivers. For me, this knot was a game changer!
Paddy McDonnell, fly fishing guide and instructor, showed me this knot and I couldn't believe how simple and effective it was. Check out Paddy's blog posts where he discusses this in more detail along with other methods to prevent hinging when fishing flies - www.paddymcdonnell.ie/not-sure...

Great tip, never lost a fish yet over many years, but this knot for salmon fishing i will be trying, makes a lot of sense. Trying new knots is omg but like this one. I will practice it at home then go fishing when we get rain, badly needed. Thanks again.

@SeánWoodsFishing Год назад

Definitely worth a go Paul 👌it's a well proven knot even before being adapted to hold a fly

@paulppaulp7138 Год назад

Tied it there now Sean, yep strong as hell and i really tested it, solid knot. Thanks again defo more movement to the fly, always learning as they say.

Looks more secure than a perfection loop .Definitely using this , cheers

@SeánWoodsFishing Год назад

Good stuff Keith, it hasn't let me down yet...nor has overhand loop knots in general for line to leader connection 👍

@oldsmugglerflyfishing Год назад

Very interesting knot. I will try it out! Thanks for sharing.

What knot would you use for droppers Sean?

@SeánWoodsFishing 6 месяцев назад

Hi Derrick, assume you mean for the fly and not to create the dropper? I use a tucked half blood knot for flies on a dropper

@paulppaulp7138 Год назад

Sean i tied this knot using 12lb, 10lb and 8lb (i fish big salmon flies and very small salmon flies), my only question is i use quality leader line (tried and tested over many fish), yes 12lb chance of a break slim, but on the 10lb and 8lb say a double could the loop snap. Ive always used the 5 and 1 or 5 and 3 method and always pull up with a small pliers the bit we all snip near the knot. But i love this knot and hopefully not a daft question.

@SeánWoodsFishing Год назад

I have 100% confidence in this knot Paul. It was shown to me by Paddy McDonell, an extremely knowledgeable guide on the Moy It has the exact same strength as an overhand loop knot, same knot but fly in loop, which anglers have been using for years.

How does it compare strength-wise to a non-slip mono loop?

@SeánWoodsFishing 10 месяцев назад

Hi Richard, I hope you enjoyed the video. I have never used a non slip mono knot and couldn't compare like for like I'm afraid

@richardashby8752 10 месяцев назад

It looks much easier to control the loop size with this knot vs. the non-slip mono loop. The advantage of the non-slip knot is that the tag end points towards the eye so less likely to catch weed. I’ll try a few strength tests!

@SeánWoodsFishing 10 месяцев назад

@@richardashby8752 that's a really good point Richard, especially on a rising spate when a lot of scum is starting to come down the river

@brianscully6227 Год назад

Can that knot be used on every fly

@SeánWoodsFishing Год назад

I don't see why not, I use for up eye, down eye and straight eye hooks

@brianscully6227 Год назад

Thanks Sean good job

Happy days 👍 wish I was shown earlier 😔

@MrKveite1 9 месяцев назад

Hmm i think i'll stick to the Rapala knot....

@SeánWoodsFishing 9 месяцев назад

More than one way to skin a cat as they say 👍

@MrKveite1 9 месяцев назад

Knots are a personal preference and you can use known knots or make your own if you think that's better so yep. I have used the rapala knot for decades on the big salmon here in Norway and never had any problems so i'll just keep using it.@@SeánWoodsFishing
