I like the loop knot off the main line too. I use a loop knot 90% of the time to allow what ever I am using to swing freely. I use it to avoid all the knot tying required by swivels. Unless I feel like I need clear floro to catch spooky fish, I run a hook/jig/whatever up the line, run a barrel weight or worm weight up the line and run the line through 5 times leaving whatever length line I want my bottom hook to be below the sinker and then attach bottom hook with loop knot and then use loop knot for top hook whatever distance I want it above the weight. If I am money fishing and want prerigs, I do the exact same thing except top hook's tag end is tied to a normal swivel. Knot tying takes way to long for a double rig when I am trying to keep up with the depth finder, trolling motor, wind, other boats, and all the other distractions. I want to spend as much of my time watching rod tips and depth finder as possible.
