Great tip, never lost a fish yet over many years, but this knot for salmon fishing i will be trying, makes a lot of sense. Trying new knots is omg but like this one. I will practice it at home then go fishing when we get rain, badly needed. Thanks again.
Tied it there now Sean, yep strong as hell and i really tested it, solid knot. Thanks again defo more movement to the fly, always learning as they say.
Sean i tied this knot using 12lb, 10lb and 8lb (i fish big salmon flies and very small salmon flies), my only question is i use quality leader line (tried and tested over many fish), yes 12lb chance of a break slim, but on the 10lb and 8lb say a double could the loop snap. Ive always used the 5 and 1 or 5 and 3 method and always pull up with a small pliers the bit we all snip near the knot. But i love this knot and hopefully not a daft question.
I have 100% confidence in this knot Paul. It was shown to me by Paddy McDonell, an extremely knowledgeable guide on the Moy It has the exact same strength as an overhand loop knot, same knot but fly in loop, which anglers have been using for years.
It looks much easier to control the loop size with this knot vs. the non-slip mono loop. The advantage of the non-slip knot is that the tag end points towards the eye so less likely to catch weed. I’ll try a few strength tests!
Knots are a personal preference and you can use known knots or make your own if you think that's better so yep. I have used the rapala knot for decades on the big salmon here in Norway and never had any problems so i'll just keep using it.@@SeánWoodsFishing

Definitely worth a go Paul 👌it's a well proven knot even before being adapted to hold a fly

@@paulppaulp7138 tight lines with it 🎣
Looks more secure than a perfection loop .Definitely using this , cheers
Good stuff Keith, it hasn't let me down yet...nor has overhand loop knots in general for line to leader connection 👍
Very interesting knot. I will try it out! Thanks for sharing.
No worries at all 👍
Great tip Seán 👍 So simple I might even be able to tie it! 😂 I will do some practicing 👍
Pick it up in no time James 👍
Thanks Sean, that would work a treat on Bonefish flies 👍
Thanks for watching Simon 🎣
Looks great an easy even for me.. 😄👍🏼🎣

@@SeánWoodsFishing Thanks Sean, tight lines for 2023.
@@paulppaulp7138 you too Paul 👍
What knot would you use for droppers Sean?
Hi Derrick, assume you mean for the fly and not to create the dropper? I use a tucked half blood knot for flies on a dropper
Good knot for fishing a damsel.
Worth a go Tom 👍
Can that knot be used on every fly
I don't see why not, I use for up eye, down eye and straight eye hooks
Thanks Sean good job
🤔was shown something very similar 5 years ago
Happy days 👍 wish I was shown earlier 😔
How does it compare strength-wise to a non-slip mono loop?
Hi Richard, I hope you enjoyed the video. I have never used a non slip mono knot and couldn't compare like for like I'm afraid

@@richardashby8752 that's a really good point Richard, especially on a rising spate when a lot of scum is starting to come down the river
Hmm i think i'll stick to the Rapala knot....
More than one way to skin a cat as they say 👍
