Nonslip Mono Loop or Surgeon's Loop?
#13
The Surgeon's End Loop gets very large when tied in heavy line, the Rapala and Nonslip Mono Loop also get quite cumbersome in heavy line. The Perfection End Loop, which can be tied into an extremely small loop can be tied in very heavy line. This doesn't really apply to flyfishing tippet but the Mexican fishermen use a version of the Perfection Loop to tie hooks and lures in line up to 100 pound test. It is sometimes referred to as the Mexican Speed Knot or Baja Knot but is really just a Perfection Loop tied with the lure in the loop as it is tied. You can see it at [url "http://www.netknots.com/"][/url]http://www.netknots.com[/url] It is call the Baja Knot in the Fishing Knot section. It's one of the few fishing knots that can be tied in such heavy line. -slojes
