How To tie The Figure of 8 loop knot | The easy way!

Miles Gascoyne demonstrating how to tie the Figure of 8 loop knot

Really great abrasion resistance and though I've never put the Big Game line kzbin.infoUgkxQ4x31pJVpClzhxzNFeILZYTW7Xbs7ZIF (any poundage) through an official test it always seems to break well above rated poundage. This line stretches a very good amount before it breaks and does well in saltwater too. Not the best line for a spinning reel in my opinion, especially if you're planning on using it for lures only due to it having a bit of memory but still a great line whether filling a spool, using as top shot or strictly for leader line. I've bought a bunch of Big game line in the past and plan on continuing to do so in the future.

Cheers, watched few video and couldn't quite get it. Watched this once and now no problems. Thanks again :-)

Tried 4 kinds, yours is the 1st one that I think successful...with fluorocarbon its a bit springy

[@MickShaw-om8gw]

Brilliant, thank you so much, I was struggled to get this until I saw this vid, I just did 4 in under 2 mins.

Thanks for sharing this. 50 years ago my Father showed me this knot and for the life of me I could not remember it or its use in fishing. As soon as you started I remembered it and how to do it. I just remembered he kept saying see if you see the figure 8 you did it right. I was 6 or 7 probably. Anyway thanks for sharing.

You are welcome - Hope it will come in useful to you.

[@thecatdaddyexperience1222]

Would this be good for say adding 2 jigs to the main line and fishing two jigs at once?

[@jonnywaselectric]

rather than passing the line behind I just pinch the first loop and twist it once and then pass the tag loop through it and pull tight, or spin the first loop twice works even better, the finished loop wont slip

[@TackleBoxCarpFishing]

Thank you for your input

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

i find this method a lot easier aswell

[@pakde8002]

There are more ways to tie this simple knot than any other knot I know.

[@jaymiller5949]

Why not use a bigger string. All I saw was fingers.

[@gee3883]

Why not buy some glasses ??

[@crayzeewhorse]

String?

[@blueyorks6884]

Because you dont use string for fishing, hes showing you with line which you will be using. 🤦‍♂️

[@gee3883]

Another great tutorial thanks.

[@TackleBoxCarpFishing]

Your'e welcome

[@lisshansen1729]

Thank you so much!

[@JohnWhite-tg9wf]

thanks 👍 my solar tube tools used the same way 😂

[@cns180784]

Which loop is stronger Miles? this one or the Perfection Loop? or the knot that makes them i should say, cheers.

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

cns180784 id like to know this too

[@chrisfox4466]

Great thanks

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

is this stronger than a surgeons knot to use on mono to attach a hook link ?

[@TackleBoxCarpFishing]

Our experience with the testing of knots has taught us that the best knot for one line does not necessarily translate across to another line. We can suggest a very simple method to compare knots which does not involve the use of scales and can be used while on the bank. Take a length of the line to be used and tie the two different knots to be compared at each end, pull to check which one survives. I would repeat this a few times to cover the chances of any badly tied knots. Hope this is of help.
