Hey guys, today I want to share a few helpful tips on non-slip loop knot for fishing. I use a non-slip loop knot whenever I'm tying my line directly to a hook, lure, or jighead without a swivel or split ring. I love non-slip loop knots because they’re strong and can be used with monofilament, fluorocarbon, and fly lines.
Best of all, they give your bait, lure, or fly more action in the water, so you’ll get more strikes and catch more fish.
How to Tie a Non-Slip Loop Knot
In this example, I’ll use a piece of cordage and an eye bolt to demonstrate how to tie a non-slip loop knot.
Non-Slip Loop Knot Step-by-Step Demonstration
I’ll start by making an overhand knot.
Next, I’ll pass the tag end of the line through the eye bolt.
Now, I’ll pass the tag end back through the overhand knot.
I’ll pull the knot until it’s close (but not too close) to the eye of the eye bolt.
I’ll wrap the tag end around the line five times.
I’ll pass the tag end of the line back through the overhand knot one more time.
At this point, I’ll pass the line through the new loop I’ve created from the five wraps in the previous step.
Next, I’ll hold the tag end (I use my teeth sometimes) and tighten everything down.
When everything is cinched down, the knot won’t be able to slip down and tighten against the eye of the hook, jighead, or lure you’re using.
Fluorocarbon to Jighead with the Non-Slip Loop Knot
Tie an overhand knot (leave enough line on the tag end and don’t cinch the knot all the way down)
Pass the tag end through the eye of the jighead
Pass the tag end back through the overhand knot
Pull everything down close to the eye of the jighead until the overhand knot is relatively small (the loop doesn’t need to be very big)
Wrap the tag end around the line five times
Pass the tag end back through the overhand knot
Pass the tag end back through the new loop you just created from the five wraps
Hold the tag end and pull the knot tight
Trim the tag end
