How to Tie a Perfection Loop Knot | Fishing Knot

[@soccermanunlv]

Good lord the easiest to follow vid for this knot. Glad I found this and the part about using your thumb for the second loop makes it 10 times easier.

[@KevinHospodar]

Awesome! glad to hear it was helpful. How I've shown it, you can tie it in the dark.

[@soccermanunlv]

@@KevinHospodar hahaha let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here. I have a little bit of practice to go to get that good.

[@BerryFarmGaming]

I cant tell you how much i appreciate this. Getting ready to go catfishing and this saved me so much trouble.

[@kevinwiens4804]

If anyone follows these instructions exactly as you do it Kevin in REAL TIME , they would have this memorized!

[@KevinHospodar]

Thanks. If it is hard to see/understand- I also have a video on my channel where I tie it with a rope

[@JamesDean-zx4uw]

You are a hero sir. I've been trying to find this knot for weeks as I use banded pre tied rigs and have been having issues connecting them to my reel

[@vsemprivet]

Nice tutorial, thank you. The only thing I noticed while tying these knots that I need bigger loop in the final knot, because no matter how I try to make it smaller, somehow the loop still ends up quite big for my purposes. Can it be done smaller?

[@ThomasScholes]

Your the man for fishing knots 👍👍

Thanks 👍

Had a couple herring rigs but they didn’t have a loop at the end so i will try this. Thanks

[@LiverpoolPilots]

I found this easy to follow, thanks for the video.

[@andresetc]

Great vid. I found that there seems to be a trick to cinching the knot down correctly though, that is making the difference between it slipping or holding. Am I missing something ?

[@KevinHospodar]

thanks! There is a bit of a "feel" to tightening down the knot - I also made an updated version of the video here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XLpmR5f5uhesk

nicholas kelly awesome! Glad it was a help.

[@radiationking9875]

Right, I've been looking for a while now on the correct fishing line knot for hanging up scale models but I can't find it. I want to use a single line, pass it through a hole in a support bracket for the ceiling and tie the two ends of the one line together to make a continuous loop. I then pass the ends of the aircraft through the loop to hold it. So I'm making two separate loops for the front and rear. What is the knot called? Long explanation but cant think of another way

[@Orlex]

That's looks good! Thanks You think it's better then loop 8?

[@WOWKNOTS]

Thanks for the helpful video, I'll go practice knitting knots. Welcome:)

[@eric9245]

How do you get it to not slip every time I tie it slips like a slip knot and I’m tying it correctly. ? Any help?

[@KevinHospodar]

Hey Eric - I redid the video here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XLpmR5f5uhesk might be easier to see

[@dennisneuhaus2607]

Yeah, so how does the lure get attached to this knot? I have just recently heard about this knot and I am not sure of its application.

[@KevinHospodar]

I don’t use this for attaching lures … for that I use the non-slip mono loop. I have a video on that knot

[@wazup3333]

@@KevinHospodar hey I just noticed after doing that this knot plenty of times this will slip and fail with enough pressure? If you put saliva on the line and follow your exact steps it will slip with minimal pressure, so when the line is wet in water it will slip out?

[@CameronLynch-o6l]

I can’t get the loop, the tag end just keep pulling through. I’m so confused what I’m doing wrong

[@ForTheAverageAmerican]

But which loop does the hook go on?

[@KevinHospodar]

I use this for loops on the back end of a leader... I use a loop-to-loop handshake to connect

[@RedfishInc]

Yeah but where do you put your lure in this process?

[@ajizum82]

Needed this, good jerb

[@canbo7643]

FYI: The original name of this knot is the Angler's Loop.

[@JosephWolf]

Umm, how do you get the fly attached? Can you demonstrate with a fishing fly or hook?

[@KevinHospodar]

I don’t use perfection loops for attaching a fly… I use a non-slip mono loop for that

Hey Lewis- here’s another version I did of the knot kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XLpmR5f5uhesk

[@rikulee9961]

I watch this like 50 times because this man going to fast

[@rishijai]

Finally got it but the knot slips with tension. I decided to use the Overhand Loop Knot instead. You just knot two strings at a time, works perfectly. 1. make loop, with string behind the loop and string end points to the right 2. pass string through fingers, making a second loop 3. pass string between loops 3. pass first loop through second loop 4 pull tight, the loose end points to the left

A quick note here…if the loop is tied correctly the tag end will be 90 degrees to the main line..if not it’s not tied correctly.

[@_Damian]

I tried dozens of times and it always come undone when I pull the front loop through the back and leaves a knot on my line

[@RazvanStefan]

it's weird, my tag end slides through the knot...why?

[@KevinHospodar]

Try tying with a longer that usual tag, tighten down the knot to size then trim the tag. hope that helps

[@RazvanStefan]

@@KevinHospodar thank you, looks like it's normal to slide that (Btw I am using braid). anyway i was trying to tie a flourocarbon leader with an albright knot through this loop. But found that double-oni knot is more reliable.

[@KevinHospodar]

@@RazvanStefan not sure if braid might be causing the issue?

[@RazvanStefan]

@@KevinHospodar it's the braid that is causing this, is very very very small. I have tried it already with heavier gauge line, it works just fine, so it's good that i wasn't stupid :))) picture this: tried this knot like 15 times and every single time encountered same problem....I was like WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG? but now is fine, I know how to tie perfection loop, double palomar, FG knot, albright knot, the rapala knot....so I learned some stuff last night in my quest to sort things out hahaha

[@livenhfree]

This loop knot was the first one I came across when I was looking for one. What I found with the Perfection Loop is that 1.) it's awkward to tie and very difficult to get the loop the size you want. They usually end up too big. 2.) there are much simpler loop knots out there. I've ditched the Perfection Loop. For good.

[@KevinHospodar]

With a bit of practice these are very easy to tie and control the size. the only “easier” loop to tie would be the double surgeon loop, but that loop doesn’t orientate itself straight off the mainline.

[@jimcarrey7006]

just double up your line and loop it through two times and pull? why do this?

[@KevinHospodar]

You’re taking about a surgeon’s loop - it will come off the line tied at an angle… while a perfection loop will be straight in line

[@jimcarrey7006]

@@KevinHospodar Why not just make a loop, then make another loop. wrap it around your finger three times with first loop and pull through second loop? why not do that?

[@KevinHospodar]

@@jimcarrey7006 you've lost me at this point

[@jimcarrey7006]

Lol thats a Spider Hitch. Its a great loop knot for multiple applications like tieing a leader onto it with a noname knot for great spring action with mono, however the loop would be super big when compared to perfection loop.

[@robertfreeman5023]

Perfection loop fishing knot

[@SimplyV3rna]

Perfection loop is weak on monofilaments.. if you expand the loop sideways, the tag end will just slip out.

[@King__Louie]

You’re right the line will slip through. But it you tie a overhand (even better with a double overhand) knot at the end first. The knot will stop the tag end slip though. This knot then becomes useful.

[@thomaslester8702]

The perfection loop works great with mono and fluorocarbon and some braids but not really well with the slick or very smooth braids for the line is so slick or smooth and soft that it allows the knot to roll over and come undone or slide like a slip knot. But works great for mono and fluorocarbon. For the one having trouble tying it look it up there are better videos and illustrations of how it is tied. The knot is strong and has it's place and uses.

Check out this other video I did, maybe a bit more clear - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XLpmR5f5uhesk

[@sweetcup6694]

They way you were explaining it and showing it, it looked like you were going through both loops at the end. You could have easily said go through the back loop only.
