Easiest Fishing Loop Knot To Tie and Mistakes people make (Kryston Loop knot tutorial)

[@rawrfishing]

Here is another easy and super fast Loop knot tutorial... The Mickey Mouse knot or the Canoe Man Loop knot kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoKpfqKKgcSCl6c

[@joec5962]

I was a charter captain in FL for over 20 years and I have caught every big fish that swims in FL waters. There were only 2 knots I ever used. This loop knot, a single uni knot and a uni to uni. I have done seminars up and down the west coast of FL and I always taught the KISS theory. Keep It Simple Stupid. You don’t need to know all these other complex knots, trust me, I have tried them all and those two knots are all you need to know as a fisherman. They will never fail no matter how big the fish.

[@rawrfishing]

I love the Uni Knot. I choose it over many other knots and I do agree that if one who are not a "Knot Fanatic" like me, knowing just a handful of knots is okay. Note that humans was able to advance in all aspect of life through via learning, discovering/developing and documenting so that they can pass on knowledge and hopefully the next person who learns it might spark a lightbulb and either enhance existing knowledge, or discover/develop new one. So if you just want to learn a few knots to solve all your fishing needs, pick a few for tying to terminal and connecting line would be fine. tight lines bud!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

What knot do you recommend for braid to mono or fluorocarbon?

[@packerjh2]

That's 3 knots!

This is by the far the best for loop knots. Thanks for the video bud!

[@rawrfishing]

Glad you liked it!

[@ricksonora6656]

Love that you break down WHY to use this method. This is the kind of attention to detail that separates the leaders (although I’m still struggling just to bring up the rear). You could script another video from your interaction with the comments. Well done!

[@rawrfishing]

Thanks for the kind words and feedback. I will take that into consideration as I want to share a stronger loop knot than this one. It will make my future vids better :)

[@jamesphillips2216]

A fantastic video on tying a loop knot!! I’ll definitely be tying this one!! Thanks for sharing this video on tying a small but strong loop knot!!

[@rawrfishing]

it's a great simple knot. If you want to turn this knot even stronger, you can hybridize this with either the kreh's loop knot finishing method or even the non-slip loop knot :) I mashed the 3 together for the past year for testing purposes and it's probably by far the strongest loop knot i have used. it works even for thin line. I have intentions of making a tutorial video very soon if you are interested :)

It's truly not bad until u go UL. That's when I hybridize this and the Krehs loop and boom! Not gonna slip!

the best way to remember a knot is to keep tying it. If you have work or school or whatever, get a spool of line that you don't like in the garage and just tie knots on spare time. i tie a lot of knots at the desk, especially during long phone conferences lol

[@strikepaw1]

This knot is awesome jimmy! Definetly gonna give this knot a shot!

[@rawrfishing]

Thx! I will make the ultimate loop knot later, but If you apply the concept of making the loop small doing the Krehs loop or Rapala knot or even take the best of the 3 knots. Then you can get the strongest loop knot that won't slip;)

[@strikepaw1]

@@rawrfishing Gotcha! Thanks for the advice man!

[@David-bf9ux]

Gk thru the half hitch once.. now form another half hitch and gently pull the tag end and main line , the upper half hitch will immediately slide over the bottom half hitch.. now you gently push the loop created to the size you want and pull the knot tight.. trjm the tag end... it's the smallest, cleanest , strongest loop knot known to man.. I've been using it for 45 years .. I've heard it called both the Mirrolure knot and the Rapala knot.. but it's definitely the best loop knot ever conceived..

[@rawrfishing]

Definitely a stronger one than this. But this is a great beginner knot that allows folks to transition to knots with a few extras steps. I personally modify the krehs loop knot with the double wrap portrayed here. Works even on braid and even thin line down to 4 lbs

[@FishingGrubbZ]

[@rawrfishing]

thx i appreciate it! it's the best for fast and easy knot, but not the strongest, especially for thinner lines. you can apply the concept here to other loop knots and achieve a small loop and strong knot!

[@gizmocarr3093]

Good for all lures and soft plastics too.

[@rawrfishing]

yeppers! i use it in many scenarios :)

[@davedtheisen5569]

The smaller the knot the less fish will see that as well. I'll have to practice this one. I always used the Palomar knot but difficult to thread the doubled line throu a small eyelet jig/hook. Especially ice jigs. Thanx

@@rawrfishing was trying the knot last weekend but i found is less strong than the rapala knot but thanks to your video i figured out how to modify the rapala knot to get a small loop.

[@rawrfishing]

@@valencia_m__ Rapala loop is stronger due to more wraps. And yes the concept is applicable to other knots as they are tied similar. Happy you figured that out before my other loop knot videos drops lol

[@jimkingsland1645]

Thank you for the best loop knot! Your knot is easy to size and does not slip. Using heavy braid for testing, I’ve tried all the loop knots I could find on KZbin. Most of them make an uncontrollable loop size larger than I wanted. One had an easy loop size adjustment but practicing with braid no matter how much I tried to tighten it even with pliers and using messy superglue, the knot slipped all the way and eliminated the loop. In fairness, I didn’t try it with mono or fluoro. It might work with those lines. But I will start testing fluoro and mono with your knot first!

[@rawrfishing]

thanks man! there is a stronger knot, the Kreh's loop knot. it's also a bit more weedless as the tag end points forward. I'll take some time this season to do another video since I have learned a ton from feedback on this video. But in the mean time, if you want to try the Kreh's loop knot, it's very similar to this knot and you can also size the loop very easily. I am in the process of testing a hybrid between this and the Kreh's loop knot and so far it's fantastic! And that's cool you are using this on braided line, but try the kreh's. i feel that the extra wraps around the main line will make it strong so it won't slip!

[@jimkingsland1645]

@@rawrfishing Thanks the Kreh loop was one of the ones I tested, but I couldn’t fiddle it to make a small loop. Maybe you can provide some tips. I’ll be watching for your Kreh video.

[@joedennehy386]

@@jimkingsland1645 you should never tie braid directly to the jigheads, always use fluorocarbon. For light tackle i use the allbright knot to join to the braid, and for heavy tackle 80lb line, 130lb trace, the Pr knot, tied with a bobbin

[@jasonmoore6419]

Definitely a different way to do a loop knot.

[@rawrfishing]

Very similar to the krehs. I think I like krehs more...so hopefully I have some time to do a tutorial

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

thank you sir

[@rawrfishing]

U got it man

[@jacke.986]

Agreed with everything in this video; however, I could make a case for a different knot with a larger loop has its utility. When vertical jigging for panfish on light line, I’ve found that having the knot further from the hood eye of the hook is better in that they won’t notice it so quickly

[@rawrfishing]

Never heard of that one before. Will pay attention next time

[@adamguerich9200]

I'll stick with the non slip loop knot, it doesn't need aditional knots/half hitches after the initial knot.

[@rawrfishing]

Go for it. I go with krehs loop knot

[@nextlevelangling]

Are you using UV fishing line and a black light here? It's beautiful

[@rawrfishing]

Yep! Makes tying knots fun

[@mikeantes9597]

Great knot thank you 1 half hitch with 10# and greater? I assume could be used with mono,fluro,and braid?

[@rawrfishing]

I haven't tried with braid, but the krehs loop knot might be stronger for ya if you want to do braid or thinner lines. U can do two wraps on the loop portrayed here when doing the krehs loop knot as they are very similar alike

[@joedennehy386]

Hilarious, I use lefties loop. The size of your knot, and tag will have more affect on the jigheads movement than a larger loop. I use Berkley nitro stealth jigheads

[@rawrfishing]

Lefty knot is my fav.

[@nwk247]

Would you recommend this knot or the Kreh’s loop knot?

[@rawrfishing]

Krehs would be my choice. Or I hybrid the two. I would use the two wraps here after inserting the line through the lure. Then finish like a krehs loop knot. The Jimbo special :)

Thx captain obvious

[@dunc2258]

Any idea of the percentage knot to line strength? 8lb line breaks ??? At the knot. A little anal i know but with ultra light line fishing I do for extremely pressured perch here the u.k, this stuff matters. Thanks jim for this vid and your other great content, big up from the u.k!!

[@rawrfishing]

I dont unfortunately, but I am sure there are some charts from folks who have done it. Just don't know if they cover all loop knots. But if I recall, loop knots doesn't hold up as well as others. But shouldn't be a problem. Never had a problem

[@dunc2258]

Also jim I'm a little sceptical about loop knots in general. I tend to fish a quick change snap, no loss of length to my fluro leader when I change lures....is there enough change to a lures action to make it worth the faff?? Convince me please mate

[@rawrfishing]

@@dunc2258 i will convince you to learn it in case you run out of clips. ^_^

[@rawrfishing]

True story... I was in Hawaii. I hiked into mountain streams for fishing. First day I got exhausted carrying tackle that I would not use and it got soaked due to rain. So 2nd day I went light but I only had one jika rig. Snagged it between a Boulder and I was out of jika rigs. I had one bell weight, no spare clips or split rings. So I used this knot to create the jiks rig. I caught over several dozen bass. Convinced yet?

[@dunc2258]

Actually jim weather permitting I'm gonna to get a few hrs on the bank Thursday afternoon. The stream i plan on fishing is full of 1lb ish perch (loads of takes, it is still a cold February after all lol) there's a good chance of 1 or 2 big out of season brown trout grabbing the crankbaits i plan on using. I'll use this knot and nothing else that day. I'll let you know how I get on

[@jihohan6677]

awesome tutorial, I'll be sure to try this knot in the future. when do you use loop knots? I know you mentioned using flukes but any other situations?

[@rawrfishing]

Swimbaits so it can get a body roll. Stick baits that doesn't walk well. Crankbaits that doesn't have a split ring and you want it to wobble. Instant jika rig if you have no split ring.

@@rawrfishing How about the opposite? Are there instances where you don't want a loop knot?

[@JesterrMinded]

would this be secure enough for braid lines?

[@rawrfishing]

not quite, but you can use the same technique to size your loop knot for the Kreh's loop knot. that is a stronger knot than this one. If you have trouble sizing the loop, do the double wrap just like the kryston as portrayed here, but finish it like a kreh's you will have a hybrid knot, which I think it might be the strongest of all. So far i haven't found a name for this hybrid knot that i mashed together.. so i may claim it :P

Nah not as good. But try the krehs loop knot. It's very similar and super strong. Probably the strongest

[@nicstr28]

Too bulky and tag end is a weed catcher. You can control the size of the loop with any loop knot.

U can if u know what you are doing... Most people don't use loop knots when fishing weeds, but here we got the black algae of death, so I know how problematic that is. I prefer a hyrbrid of this knot and krehs

[@JIgginCrappie]

@@rawrfishing you over exaggerated the effects of the loop knot with that big stiff line. 4 or 6lb test is going to be different.

[@rawrfishing]

You can give it a try with thin line. make a loop large and make it small, and just lightly press on it. you will see that smaller loop is certainly stronger; however, i want to express that the smaller loop is effective for slower falling lures or something that suspend. Most crappie jigs and bait doesn't fall slow enough to actually benefit with a smaller loop. for crappie fishing, a loop knot at any size will certainly give it some more action.
