Can you use braid

[@760BassFishing]

Thanks sooo easy to setup

[@unclehorse76]

yes(or hopefully)🎣🐟

[@vincentcollins6757]

I switched my knot on my lunch break today. First cast after I landed a 24” snook on lure. Thanks for the help guys! I’m stoked!!

[@JoeyTheGamer21]

Nice job. Great fish

[@marktapley7571]

This is the best channel for learning fishing knots. Without it, lots of us would still be tying crap knots.

[@Saltstrong]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you!

[@genegoodwin8925]

Thank you for sharing. I'm almost 70 years old and still learning.

[@jlrosine]

This knot is one of the best. Great for Rapalas, hair jigs...you name it. The action is so much better/more natural.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@uwuziel]

"Roughly half the size of an M&M." Finally a channel that uses a good measurment system

[@Saltstrong]

Haha!!! The metric system is overrated:)

[@leafysfishing]

@@Saltstrong would this be fine with 10lb flurocarbon? Thanks btw some others are showing it wrong.. by coming back threw the knot on the wrong side 🙃

[@Saltstrong]

@@leafysfishing Yes, this knot works for 10 lb line too. Sorry to see that others are showing this loop knot with the wrong finish.

[@leafysfishing]

@@Saltstrong thanks I'll be giving it a go 👌

So much easier and quicker than the "non-slip loop knot" that everyone else is showing with the 6 wraps. Gonna try it right now. Two wraps n thru/done! Nice.

[@wh8085]

I've been tying that loop knot for 50 years and you are the first one I've seen tie it besides the grand kids I've taught it to ! I only fish for crappie on 4 lb test so I do wrap the main line 4 x but still the same knot ! Bravo !

Get some line and a jig head and do it while you watch.

[@brookmiller1986]

Lol!!

[@toddgaines9446]

It's an easy to remember stress free knot that can be used in many setups.

[@Saltstrong]

Very true!

[@riptide10x60]

This knot will be a game changer for weedy situations, thanks!

[@alexanderteambillywynn6900]

This is my go to knot I’d like to see you test the break strength with different amount of wraps, thanks for the info bro

[@Greataviator1]

Good demo and thank you for the narrative and not playing obnoxious music.

[@Saltstrong]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Branson4fun]

Thanks for a simple explanation! You make it look so simple!

[@inappreciation7339]

This is the first time i have put on a lure and i just got back from fishing. Thank you for the help!!!!

[@joedennehy386]

Great knot, it does make a difference having the jighead able to swing freely, i use lefty's loop for the same reason

[@mikewright8328]

Joe what is the lefty nott please ?

[@joedennehy386]

​@@mikewright8328 make the same granny knot, then pull that loop down to the hook and cover it with your thumb and forefinger. Then tie a clinch knot, and when improving it, take it through the granny knot loop, pull tight

[@GaryGiffin]

Great information and going to use this know for most of all of my lure jigs!

[@willperryman4559]

I’ve been using those ZMAN jig heads and Slam Shady swimbaits and fishing at night successfully 👍😜 and I use this loop knot on my top water lures, but forgot all about using it on my jigs…. LOVE IT 😜🎣✊

[@keithscott4939]

Awsome strong knot! I used it for a 80lb mono with a circle hook and it worked great! Thanks for sharing!

Thxs for this man my brother starting to get annoyed at having to tie my lures on 😂 worth a sub

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks!

[@trifishgulfcoast5608]

Excellent info! That weedless loop knot is awesome. It's in my knot arsenal. I only use about a handful of knots. Uni knot, loop knot, palamore, snell knot, dropper loop and your basic over hand knot.

[@Copeharder97]

Question, why do you use multiple knots ? Are some knots better to use for certain lures or hooks? PS miss fishing in the gulf just moved back to NY , so much more of variety in the gulf

[@63striker]

Line to leader with Uni ,?? Thanks

[@mischief1023]

I've used that knot to tie down an aircraft.

[@jakebramble5638]

Perfect thanks mate

[@Saltstrong]

Glad we could help!

[@josephg1855]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!

[@jimbo4612]

The knots are tied correctly and very good instruction however the invention of the tactical angler power clip and duo locks makes it really simple where you don't have to retie if changing lures. The Duo lock is also very easy for lead head fishing giving the lead head a natural motion . All you do is match the size power clip or lock to the size lure or lead head. The non slip loop knot for Saltwater come in handy for live bait presentations as ringed hooks are pretty expensive.

[@jimbo4612]

@feeshyfeeshy Were fishing for California halibut and striped bass from the surf. As where jigging for the halibut, individual striped bass will suddenly show up requiring a hardbait lure . . We also have a one rod rule in effect for our region . So to make the swap out in seconds were using power clips. We also use the power clip to snap on a pretied drop shot rig for the halibut and will make the quick swap out when we see a striped bass.

[@rocketracing3852]

Me being 11 and doing this hooked my self a lot lol

[@mikegardiner3934]

Exact same loop knot I tie !! 😎👍👍

[@Saltstrong]

Thank you for checking it out!

[@brendadouglas5269]

If only I could remember

[@markforster6457]

Will using a loop knot tied directly to a jig be more sensitive to soft strikes than using a clip or a snap/swivel? Thank you.

[@ryansmith3638]

Thank you for the video 👍

[@Darkpixies]

Try a dry lift with as much weight as you can till it breaks at the knot, Not try tying the new knot under water, than do a dry lift and see the weight difference when the knot breaks, it will shock you. Great tutorial, thx.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Pena.2]

Great for shallow fishing on 3/8 jig

[@arnieschwartz7962]

Great!!

[@metaldeath9991]

Rapala knot. It's not bad and it's secure

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@chrisa9035]

Full and half palomars never fail

[@Yukon85226]

Thanks

[@fishingamerica8008]

I would like to see a pool video of the movement of a jig tied with a loop knot compared to a snug knot. I bet there is not much difference

[@davem145mxr]

The DOA website has one

[@joedennehy386]

There is a huge difference, i have demonstrated them in tanks at boatshows. They fall naturally instead of stiffly for weights up to 3/4oz

[@refaiabdeen5943]

Cheers Mate!

[@rsimpkins1601]

Like that Jig...easy to understand ...any links on where to get that jig

[@michaelalvarez7830]

Do you think this would be good for big popper

[@KRice-zk5rk]

Does this knot work well when using braided line?

[@Kdash66]

I'm spoiled with my tactical angler power clips. I change lures way too often but this looks pretty quick and easy as a backup just in case I run out.

[@bdr5150]

HelloGeno thats what i use also. I use the smaller ones for inshore, bay fishing and have no issues. For fluke fishing, i have the bucktail on the bottom and just pass the loop through the eye of the Bt and then pass the bt through the loop so its easy jig changes

[@nsho323]

Great setup. I have a question should I use a swivel and leader for my jig heads or tie it straight to my line ?

[@leafysfishing]

40 seconds.. future ref 🤣

[@paulb7943]

Have you guys done any testing with this knott with like ultralight line like 4 lb? Or is there a better loop not for ultralight jigs I don't know about

[@BillSr.]

Would this knot work on 6 pound fluorocarbon line?

[@Saltstrong]

For sure

[@Antipodean33]

good info, can you tell me where to get that jig head from, looks like a winner

[@bluesdawg8014]

Does a snap swivel do the same thing? Great knot : )

[@bradanderson495]

Do you use a loop knot on your Owner twist lock as well?

[@paulwave1560]

Do you connect this leader line to braided main line with a snap swivel so you can easily switch to another leader line with different jig head?thanks!

[@Saltstrong]

Not usually. We usually tie the leader to the braid with an FG knot, uni knot, etc.

[@2713walker]

Does this work with braided line?

[@Ben-dw8ts]

Work with braid?

[@chrisj1982]

What about lighter line? I live in south Florida and wanna start fishing some of the canals around her.

[@Saltstrong]

You can use this knot with lighter line

[@bobmariano3731]

How’s it effectiveness on 4-8 lb test for trout , smallmouth etc ? ? Thx 👍

[@unclehorse76]

thanks bro real helpful

[@Night-211]

Dude, how to do an inline spinner tie, i cant find any videos (the spinner with the shiny oval metal part on the lure it self) dude PLS HELP ME

[@kevinw1980]

Not exactly related to knots. I bought the slam shady (~3” long). Which jig and what size would work best with the slam shady? Thx

[@LmartRanch]

Depends on depth, 1/8 oz jighead for shallows (1-2ft), 1/4 oz jighead for deeper water(3-5ft)and so on.

[@claudeyarborough7532]

Can you provide a link or name of those spit ring scissors you used?

[@keelandavis]

Will it work for fluorocarbon

[@Cholomander420]

Do I need to tie a weight or put split shots? Lately it feels like my lures don’t cast out as far. When I cast it feels like it goes out about 6ft.

[@christophercook723]

Ah a Lefty Kreh Loop knot renammed Rapala.

[@אדםאיתןוגיאהמלכים]

Hi how I can do double jig on same Line

[@billycreech879]

Do you use the same knot on the tease eye jig?

[@travisgilmore5258]

Great video tried to give it a thumbs up but it won't let me

[@Saltstrong]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Half the size of an m&m should be a unit of measurement

[@Saltstrong]

Agreed! haha

[@derickpacheco574]

Do you use this knot for weedless hooks with a paddle tail?

[@Saltstrong]

Yes. We use this knot for all lures.

[@shaunmoeller3288]

Could I use this for a weightless Texas rig for a 4" minnow

[@deedlefish]

Use it for any thing

[@donaldroyer4618]

I know this is 2 yrs old. I love the knot and would like to use it in fresh water. Do you think this would be the best knot for fresh water (Crappie) jigs?

[@Saltstrong]

Should be ok. You can check out www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tips/ and search for knots to see several different knots.

[@donaldroyer4618]

@Salt Strong thank you the advice. I'll check it out.

[@tonymcleroy6729]

What jig head is that, and color, if you would share a link to that, Thanks, nice knot also..

[@robertsteele8838]

What lure is that ?

[@lionels839]

Luke, what do you think of Homer Rhodes knot ?

[@Saltstrong]

That's one that I have not yet tried out. I see that it leaves the tag end pointing up towards the rod which is one ding against it relative to this non-slip loop knot. But its design may very well have a higher breaking point.

[@bdr5150]

That is a cool knot and easy to tie! Couldnt i just use a clip instead or does a clip not give as much action?

[@Saltstrong]

Yes, a clip can get the desired motion too. But it'll increase the odds of the more wary fish to not strike because they can see something that looks odd in the lure's profile, so we do not recommend anything metal that's not essential.

[@jeffreybabino1411]

Hi you don't recommend a duo lock snap thanks
