Underwater video of Kreh's Loop knot in action: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZOejdmkktWYe3k.html

I'm so glad you showed us this knot. I can see the Acton that you get with the loop. very cool

Thanks for sharing Roger. The loop knot is all I use when I am fly fishing. Gotta use it more when I am jig fishing. The devil is in the details

Have to admit: I’m an experienced angler , but I’ve learned a couple new things from u this week. 💯 I’ve been using the larger loop knot. A huge tog took me on a major ride last fall on a jig fight. Could feel it twisting and turning and digging. It broke me off 😂😂

Probably one the top knot demos I've seen. Clear, close up and overall, well done. Thank you!

This makes a lot of sense. The smaller the loop the more sensitive your line and rod can detect those very subtle bites especially with those deeper column bites. Thank you for an excellent presentation and use of clarity in those camera shots.

This one's a keeper. Good call, need to start doing this on some of the stiffer Gulps.

Being a clip guy whenever possible...every single thing you say is 100% accurate. From the extra lean or roll when jigging through the slack. To being able to at times feel the clip interact with the line tie. Owner even sells clip with soft plastic covers at the bend to make it a silent connection. I'll even admit to plasti dipping clips and wire leader in the past :) New camera?? Many don't realize just how much a solid polamar / uni knot really effect the action of a bait. Is it no surprise that the hottest trending bass baits are swing head jigs and such.....whether it be freedom tackle or jika rigs. All have a free swinging hook

You are a good instructor. Clearly, nicely and slowly explained.

Perfect knot. It never slips if tightened properly. It can be made stronger by making the initial overhand knot with a double overhand knot. I was able to land many years worth of stripers and bluefish with the knot on Clouser streamers.

You should do more of these! So helpful

Awesome! Just found your channel, love it! I’ve been using this knot or years, after I found it in one of lefty’s old books. (Fantastic books, more fishers need to read his work) it’s my favorite loop for terminal connections. Tight loops make good action!

Very nicely explained and demonstrated, thank you! Take care

Great knot!!! 👍🏾 I learned this when I learned how to jig for stripers. Awesome knot for Jerk shads on the fall. That wobble ...

Very good presentation!! Found your terminology similar to how I speak as well. Lol. I’m a fly fisherman and the loops are so much better than terminations that I call “rigid”. I also do not like using snaps when I’m spin fishing with bait or artificials. Thanks for the presentation!!

You ain't wrong, bro! Awesome logic!!

Cooking and Fishing great tip and thx for sharing

my fav loop knot!

Now this was a very informative video I just tried making this not end it is awesome I’m thinking about calling out of work today just to test it crazy I know but thank you

Very good concept

Wow these was awesome thank you sir very much for brief explaination

Thanks a bucket full of fish!! I was trying to tie the same knot (I think) in a different way. I believe out of 12th attempt I succeed in 2 success. But yours - every time!

Great Demo, Thanks

Good video!

Imma try this tonight

Great video thank you

Helpful video, thank you!

Good sir thank you for a great explanation

Good tip thanks for sharing .

Very interesting...I'm a clip user mostly out of convenience, but I'll definitely give this a try. Looks simple and effective.

Very helpful video, Roger. Thanks. Could you discuss the knot to use when tying the fluorocarbon leader to the braided main line?

Aahhh ... vis. the loop vs clip ... now I understand what you meant when you say you can identify/feel the hook tip grating against tog's teeth 👍

I like this knot, I use it for small fish I believe that it reduces the fishes line detection

Thanks for the video. Do you use tungsten jigs or lead when fluke fishing? I never considered tungsten but I can see its advantage. Well besides its price.

Thanks.

I love using this knot for jigging and when I use crankbaits.

When I’m standing I use one of my fishing pole guides to hang the hook so I can have better control when making my knots. This knot is perfect for live bait fly lining.

Thank you

A fishing ball barrel snap swivel can be just as effective. I haven’t got a breakoff or it come undone. Nice clip by the way.

Yo... Roger Dodger... what's good. It's Stretch..... I would think with your OCD, you would use a colored line for video presentation and make sure you also tie a NO slip loop knot. The only difference in the knots are ; after looping your lure you return thru the over hand on the same side as the first, then twist 3 times up the main and return thru the over hand holding the tags that make up the actual loop out of the way from the OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE 1st two. When done correctly the tag will exit the knot @90° and be cinched around it's entire circumstance. It's the only knot I use for any lure or streamer, anything I'm not just burning straight.

i know this video is from 2018..... being a fly fisherman mostly we use loop knots quite often on certain subsurface trout flies..i will give you a slightly different way to tie it that is noticeably smaller and perhaps a bit quicker at least for us because we fish alot with 5 and 6x tippet material and very small flies which is alot harder to tie than on 15lb test..you start off the same exact way as the kreh loop but instead of feeding your tag through the overhand knot first you bypass it,, make your 3 turns past the overhand knot then you pass your tag through the knot and seat it..so you went through the overhand knot only once instead of twice... there is absolutely no difference in strength at all and ive caught hundreds of fluke with it and cant remember losing a single one to a break off...used it for many years fly fishing and now for the past 5 yrs for saltwater since ive been addicted to the fluke game from shore..all my fluke fishing i use and employ the exact same rigs you use from watching your channel..try it at least and see what you think...if im tying directly to a jig or bucktail its a davy knot all the way...if you dont know that super simple knot you should..it is by far the smallest knot ever to use and you can tie that knot just by feel with your eyes closed..i have done it many many times when friends say i cant just to show them u can..happy fishing..btw,,,,i love that unhookem tool i saw on your video and spoke with the owner about a bigger one for saltwater and supposedly there working on one..

Love that Jig head with wire keeper....What is it? Brand? Source?

Tq sir👍👍

so... how did a knot change the hook you started with to a totally different hook?

Question.....I really could use something like this for light line, bluegill fishing through the ice. do you think this knot is anymore strong or an advantage over a regular 9 twist and through the bottom then cinch.

What size hooks on the gamakatsu jigheads for 4”-5” gulp?

Roger, do you use this knot when jigging blackfish?

Would you recommend this for a ned rig by any chance or no?

The clicking and rattling of the speed clip will attract fish also.

How do you tie two jigs with this type of loop knot, assuming the bottom has the one you demonstrated?

I used to tie this loop knot but I have found one better. It's the canoe man loop knot. It's easier, it's quicker, and it's just as tough if not tougher.

Great tutorial on this loop knot! Thanks! Can you please send me a link to those tungsten jig heads? Thanks again

yessir

Where can you buy the jig head box

Great knot saving money instead of using ringed hooks which are expensive.

7:04 those EZ clips are the way to go..

That knot is going to be my new bucktail connecting knot...

I learned this knot from the back of a Rapala lure box. Same idea for Rapala, they don't recommend using any snap swivel or anything like that, ruins the action of the lure. Always tie your jerkbait too instead of a snap swivel.

Can you use loop knot with braid?

Try it with 4,6,or8# line,lot's of luck!

is that a drop shot bait? what size is that?

isnt this the rapala knott?

👍👍👍

already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). kzfaq.infoUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.

🇮🇶🌹🌺✋👍👍😌

Its just a rapala knot isn't it?

no way I can do that with 4 or 6 pound test

Loop knots are weak and hard to tie. Especially in lots of wind or when it’s cold.

Why is it that when you are attempting to share your wealth of knowledge with us you fail in your approach to display your expertise..I have a photographer’s background and color is a function of black/white..It’s black against white or vice versa..Bottom line!! Use a yellow cord against a black background or red against white .. It’s very difficult to view your presentation..TIGHT LINES
