You've picked my weakness Sir CrappiePappy. Post all the knot info you want I can use the instructions. I tie 2 knots and now working on mastering the third from Alphahawks' advice.
I’ve seen a bunch of those too. Be good to see them in one place.
That is one of my go to knots, CP. The Palomar is another one. Both reliable and super strong. At my age and fumble fingers I need simple and strong knots. You don’t need a lot of knots.

With my eyes and old fumble fingers I need the simplest, strong knot to tie. I really struggle with light, thin lines. I will give this one a try.
Used to use that knot a lot when I started crappie fishing. Some one said loop knot is the best to give natural movement on crappie jig either when jigging, swimming or under float. The trick is to make that loop as small as possible to get good strike detection. I even use small clip to help.
Now with my old age and loosing a few jig most ever trip, I just simply tie my goto uni knot. Benefit of uni knot to me, use less leader material, I can tie it quick at night or in windy conditions. If hang up I can brake off at knot instead of whole leader (I use Alberto knot for leader to braid).
I'm with you, Uni is 99% of my knot tying. I never fish a loop knot and catch plenty of fish by most anglers standards. Looking to broaden my knot skills though.Quote:

I'll try that one CP.
Well, the FB page where that one came from just has a lot of snell knots, clinch & improved clinch knots (some of which are mislabeled) so I'll post this one instead :

go to my YouTube channel and watch me tie a loop knot .....
after being raised by a sailor , my knot tying skills are ok ......
but to be sure , once I tied a loop knot ....
it was game over and game on at the same time ....
so if someone tells me something is better and even shows me how it is better .....
it is highly likely I ain't changing what "knot" to do .....:Rofl
That's the knot I use for the top jig in my double jig rig !!Quote:

If I can keep the jigs in sight (on screen), I can usually avoid getting hung up, but it only takes a second or two of losing sight of the jigs to get them snagged. Sometimes they pull loose, sometimes I lose one, sometimes I leave both of them in the brushpile :Doh: ... but sometimes that's the price you pay to play.Quote:

one thing for certain a loop might not be the right knot for braid , it sometimes breaks right at the knot with braid ....Quote:

Great knots. If you can find a copy, Mark Sosin and Lefty Kreh’s knot tying book is a classic and earns a spot in your library.
Bob
If you solely use braid like I do a palomar knot is the way to go from what I have found. I've tried many knots with braid and this one just seems to work the best.
for those that use a uni --- try going thru the eye twice , then tie your uni. Makes it lots stronger, on par with a palomar knot . Saw this in a magazine years ago, they called it " the eye crosser "

I’ve posted before, netknots.com is a great place to learn new knots , fishing, rope, even the different neck tie knots.
Even have animation on how to tie.
