How to tie a Loop Knot video

Here is a video I just made on how to tie a loop knot. This is a easy knot to tie and a great knot to use.

How to tie a Loop Knot - YouTube

You did good!:ThumbsUp:biggrin

With as many videos on youtube to tie a loop knot
this looks like a self promotion to your selling of your
hand tied crappie jigs in the background .
Just the way I see it .

I don't get a dam what you think. I have always tried to help other on this site and spend many hour here helping. I don't care if I sell a jig or not and there is nothing in this video of my jig tying.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! This is the kind of help I've received on this forum that is helping me become a better "spec" fishermen in these waters that are so dfferent from the ones I grew up fishing in FL. Keep it up!!

That's just a DUMB thing to say for someone who has only posted 14 times. Stump Hunter tries to help people.

Thanks Stump Hunter that is the kind of "how to" that makes this forum so valuable. I have a question. Does anyone know the breaking strength of a loop knot. 80%, 90%?

From what I see this is a Surgeon's loop knot, and per this www. it is rated near 100% line strength. (about 1/2 way down the page) :dono

Trapper I don't know what video you looked at but there's nothing in there about Stump's jigs. I've been on this forum for a while and have found Stump and others to be extremely helpful for anyone who asks for any help with no thought of what's in it for them. I've also used Stump's jigs and found them to be some of the best I've ever used.

Stump, thanks for the video, I've been tying a loop knot using a different technique, but this looks faster and produces less waste on the tag end. Thanks.

Yes this will hold close to 100%. Using the hi vicious 6 pound line with the loop knot the line will almost cut you trying to break the line when you get hung-up. From what I have seen when you do break the line it is the line that breaks, not the loop.
