Fishing Knots - How to Tie the Figure 8 Loop Knot

Fishing Knots - How to Tie the Figure 8 Loop Knot. The figure 8 loop knot is really handy for looping things onto your main line or for tying carp rigs. I use the figure 8 loop knot for looping a lead free leader onto my main line but if you tie a big enough loop, you can loop on a spod or spomb or a deeper or even a marker float. It's a very useful fishing knot and tying a figure 8 loop knot is very easy.

Hi Mark hope you are well,I've been carp fishing 30 years and have never used this knot😯 I've always used the over hand knot for my loops!!!! I will try and master this now as it sits alot! Better than the over hand does!!!! Thanks for the demonstration😄 we ever stop learning do we mate😁thanks Dan

[@MarkCarp]

hi dan, i was in the same boat, used to use the overhand but the f8 was much better and you're right, we never stop learning👍😁

Great vid mark. I remember trying to tie this knot when I first started. There were no good vids on it. This is the easiest figure 8 knot video to follow by far!

[@MarkCarp]

thanks mate, it is a really simple knot to tie isn't it, i didn't put it in the video but it's good for quick change carp rigs too👍

[@banditfishing1558]

@@MarkCarp yea that’s what I use it for, attaching to qc swivels. On a fishing note, I had a new pb pike f 21lb 2oz on the same lure as I had my 1st 20 on. I’ve had a few nice carp too, including a 18lb 2oz immaculate common and a 21lb 9oz high shouldered mirror

[@MarkCarp]

@@banditfishing1558 nice, that lure clearly has appeal to big pike, was that from the stretch of canal again?. some nice carp too, keep chipping away and pushing up those pb's👍🎣

[@banditfishing1558]

@@MarkCarp the first one was on the Birmingham fazely canal. The second was from a lake which will remain nameless local to me

[@MarkCarp]

@@banditfishing1558 canal and lake, nice one, 20lb pike are quite rare today specially on lures, it's got to be your lucky lure that one👍🎣

Were have you been hiding Mark great vlog

[@MarkCarp]

thanks michael, yes i've not been around much have i?, i'm still fishing, twice a week at the moment and in between times i'm trying to clear my house and get some work done on it. I'm very slow at getting jobs done and the list of them is long, trouble is it's summer and i just want to be on the bank👍🎣😁

[@michaelmcquiggan1252]

Fine line between work and play Mark but if you are still getting that helps .

[@MarkCarp]

@@michaelmcquiggan1252 i'm getting fishing on a limited basis michael, mostly just local stuff, that's why i'm able to go twice a week, less travelling and close enough to visit after work👍 i'm still looking for somewhere to get my teeth into at the moment.

What would you say are the best mini pit reels are ?

[@MarkCarp]

best mini pits mate?, you'll probably get a different answer from a lot of people but for me it's the shimano ultegra 5500, i use these reels myself and have done for the past 6 or 7 years or so. they are superb, one thing i would say, don't scrimp on them, there are a few different models, the normal cheap ones and the ci4 versions, you should go for the ci4, they are a lot lighter than the standard version and once you go ci4, you won't want to go back👍

[@cbing4036]

@@MarkCarp thanks a lot for the advice Mark I will put them on the Christmas list !

[@MarkCarp]

@@cbing4036 they are a big buy, definitely one for the xmas list, when they first came out i think they were over £300 a reel, i ended up buying mine second hand/nearly new, i paid £360 for a set of 3, it's worth buying second hand, i get most of my big items that way👍

[@cbing4036]

@@MarkCarp sound advice thank you. Do you get any warranty if you buy them new? I’m also looking for some selling alarms. I have learnt a lot from your channel and appreciate the drop off inline lead video in particular!
