How to Tie a Loop Knot: A Simple Trick to Add More Action

Not all knots are created equal, and if you want to add more life to your lures, mastering this unique and valuable knot is a must.
Most conventional fishing knots adhere to the eye of a fish hook by cinching down on it. That leaves the hook and consequently the action without its widest range of motion, effectively killing the action or greatly diminishing it.
Virtual Angling staff member McKeon Roberts demonstrates how to tie a loop knot, the best knot for crankbaits, and for adding liveliness to minnows on jigs.
Contrary to what you might expect, tying the loop knot is a straightforward process. Here's how it's done:
Start by forming a loop with the line and threading the tag end through it, creating what would appear to be a simple knot. However, resist the urge to tighten this loop just yet.
Take the tag end and run it through the eye of the hook.
Wrap the tag end around the main line 5 times ABOVE the loop created.
Run the tag end through the loop and cinch down.
This simple knot is helpful to any level of angler and should be added to your repertoire.
