Captain Steve Huff ties this loop knot to his permit crab flies with tippet material. Huff created this know out of necessity when Del Brown was pursuing permit tippet world records in the 80s and 90s. A loop knot allowed the fly to drop freely unlike a fly secured with a clinch knot. The only problem was the loop knots commonly tied were substantially weakened the strength of the tippet material. After tying many variations of loop knots, Huff came up with this double-line 5 turn loop knot that held better than any other of the knots he had ever tied.

In the old Frontier Anglers catalog, out of Dillon MT (when I owned it) there is a knot called the Conley Loop. The same knot only twice through. Breaking strength is right at 99%, I tested it a ton of times. Less material used. This is the only knot I use for bones, permit and streamer fishing and have used it for over 40 years.

A great knot I'm sure from a fishing legend. Now how about a video that actually shows you how to tie the knot?

Am I the only one who wished that Steve was not wearing a white shirt as I was list due to lack of contrast? These old eyes are not what they once were, I enjoyed the figure 8 knot as this was infinitely easier to follow

As with a lot of KZfaq videos that show different knots being tied, this one is almost impossible to follow because the viewer can’t see the line. Also, the tying of the knot as described by the presenter is virtually incomprehensible. My suggestion for all knots would be 1) first tie the knot with a suitable material say, rope, cord, I.e something that the viewer can see but doesn’t require any dexterity when the viewer tries it 2) then tie the knot using a material that is still visible to the viewer but now needs to be tied with a reasonable degree of dexterity, e.g large diameter mono 3) finally there is no need to tie the knot using the proper materials because the viewer can’t see them on the screen !!

Thanks Captain Huff. I had to listen carefully and watch a couple of times to figure it out but I got it now. Knot looks good & strong.
