Definitely easier and quicker than the loop knot I've been using. Thanks.

Have never looped it but once. leave about 1.5 inch :popcorn loop .

Suck at knots saw one on u tube where you run line thru eye leave about 12 inches of line put both lines together and hold jig in first two fingers wrap both lines together three times around two fingers. Run jig thru pull tight. Pretty easy.

Since most times I'm fishing hair in cold weather and water (and my old eyes have problems tying knots even when it's not cold!), I use a tiny, thin wire "Snap Hook" (Netcraft), to facilitate the "loop". Makes jig switching much easier as well.

Just for the record, though, he didn't invent it. ;)

The more common name is surgeon's loop.

I like the Mickey Mouse knot

Best thing about this knot is it's also almost 100% knot. Plus simple to tie.
