Properly tied and seated this simple knot consistently test as close to 100 % as any terminal knot.

The two keys to successfully tying this loop knot are the correct number of turns relative to the size of the leader material and lubricating the knot prior to synching down.

Tying Sequence

Tie an overhand knot, as you would for a Homer Rhode Loop Knot.  Then pass the tag end through the hook eye.

Pass the tag end through the open overhand knot.

Recommended number of turns:

• 5 turns for 8-12 pound test
• 4 turns for 15-40 pound test

Make the appropriate number of turns around the standing line and pass the tag end back through the opening of the overhand knot.

To tighten the knot:

Hold the standing end in one hand with the fly hanging just below.  Partially tighten the knot by pulling on the tag end.   Continue tightening by pulling the standing end with one hand and the lure with the other.
