Loop Knots

[corndog]

Only knot I use on lures. Once you get use to tying it it is the easiest knot to tie. It has improved my game!

The only knot I use! I use it on tops, Corkys, Assassins, and even using it to tie my hooks on while free lining Shrimp. A great knot that when tied right won't fail. When building your loop make sure the loop is not to big. Sometimes when there to big the front hook on a topwater will catch the loop.

Which version do you tie?

Here is an animation of the rapala knot that I use. I adjust the size of the loop and then lock down the overhand knot, shown in slide 3, during slide 9. Then I tighten the rest of it, as shown in slide 10

Trying to get opinions on loop knots.

Do you use them?

For which baits?

Which type loop knot?

I haven't used them in the past, but I've always heard they are especially good for adding action to topwaters.

My fear has always been that if any slack is created between the lure and the knot during head shake, then the loop would snap. Similar to grabbing your line just above the lure to boat a fish. I don't know if there is any merit to this thought.
