Easy loop knot for 10lb+
I was just messing around with some loop knots when I decided to try something that didn't make a lot of sense, and found that it worked and worked well! It's basically a figure 8, like you'd tie for a slim beauty, with the tag passed through the eye of your lure and back through the figure 8. The figure 8 snugs down on your tag and grips it so it doesn't slip. I tried it with 4lb, but it's just not thick enough for the knot to grip itself. I drew up (very badly) some instructions for it. I'd like to hear some feedback on it, to see if it works for anyone else.
1 tie a double overhand 2 snug it down to form a figure 8 3 pass the tag through the eye of your lure 4 pass the tag back through 2 loops, formed by the figure 8 5 gently snug the knot down by pulling the tag (use your teeth) lure and main line.
