ORVIS - Fly Fishing Knots - Non Slip Mono Loop

[@DavidWilesKotch]

Interesting. It looks like the Lefty Kreh nonslip loop knot, but you only go through the overhand knot once instead of both ways. Might try it.

Hmm. This video's method is very different from the other's I've seen. This seems to be either missing a few steps, or is actually incorrect.

This is a bad tutorial. I can’t tell if he actually ties it this way or you guys missed a step, but the line should be threaded through the overhand after threading through the eyelet. Furthermore, he doesn’t demonstrated with way the line should be threaded through overhand, that it’s the amount of line between the overhand and eyelet that determines how big the loop is, etc. All in all, this is a substandard video for Orvis.

Nice, not seen that one before. Why would you not use a perfection loop? I have been using the P.L. for saltwater fishing for Pollock (for loop-to-loop and for connecting the fly) without any problems thus far. I use your excellent Hard Salt Mono great product, incredible abrasion resistance, straightens out with a good pull off the spool with a nice bit of shock-absorbing stretch and very, very strong.

I believe this loops has generally been found to be stronger, but the other advantage is the tag end points away from you so it sheds weeds better. I personally find the nonslip loop knot easier to tie on a fly whereas the perfection loop is probably easier to put a loop at the butt end of the leader. Speaking of that, if you’re regularly reeling in your leader onto the guides on your rod, you’ll probably prefer the nonslip loop knot to the perfection loop because the tag end isn’t pointed 90 degrees ti the line.

How long would you make your tippet line?

Absolutely NO ONE ties a non slip mono loop this way. The end goes through the hook eye following the overhand knot, THEN through the loop, around the main line several turns and through the loop again. This guy is supposed to be some sort of instructor? Orvis you should be embarrassed.
