This film shows how to tie 3 of the most popular fly fishing loop knots and how best to attach them together. Easy to see, and with clear directions, this is one of the best knot films out there.
In addition, each knot finishes with a laboratory test that breaks the knot under a controlled environment -illustrating the relevant strength of each knot.
All knots tested in this film were tied in a piece of 10lb RIO Steelhead/Salmon tippet material.

This is the best perfection loop and connection video...bar none!! Thanks for a great lesson. The tip on threading the leader through the line loop is fantastic!!

Thank you for the great comparison of these knots. The bimini is a bit much for me and I like the way the "surgeons" knot lays and it is a bit easier for these old fingers and eyes to tie while in the house and on the river.

Paul Nichols Thanks for your comments, Paul. Totally understand about the difficulty of the Bimini, but it is a great knot with good light, time and lots of practice!

So much easier to just make a loop and pull the tip through the circle n pull it tight. Works just fine. This perfection knot is a pain on tapered leaders.

What is it that you use when lubricating the knot? Why do you think it's better than for example saliva?

@RIOPRODUCTS 3 жыл бұрын

The grease in the chapstick provides less friction than saliva, so the knots tighten better, and get less "kinks" than with saliva.

@@RIOPRODUCTS ok, tks. But what exactly is a "chapstick"? Lipbalm, or what? I'm Swedish, thus the question.

These are a great set of knot tutorials but I don't quite believe the strength of the Perfection loop. In my, 50 year, experience it is more like 75% of the breaking strain of the line used.
