  1. Nice job…thank you. My wife fishes Rapala lures almost exclusively for smallmouth bass. She loses a lot of lures (expensive here in Canada), due to improper knots….I hope she learns from your video. Thanks again.

  2. He's got it right, just a bit cumbersome demonstrating. Palomar knot won't work, because it ties tight against the loop of the lure. This knot loop is loose to the eye of the rapala alowing it to move as engineered unencumbered. Otherwise if tied tight to the lure's eye loop, via Palomar knot, your lure is holding your line too tight as in a dance. The lure should be able to move freely and dance in his arms, not be held tight. WTF did I just say. Happy fishng all..

  3. Just a lil bit harder 2 do with monofiliment, but its worth the effort as it does free up your lure and makes 4 a more realistic presentation!!!! Thanks man…. i actully learned something usefull today!!! Ltr!!

  4. Lefty Kreh created this knot for fly fishing streamers, and this gentlman tried his best, and maybe saw it in a rapala add. But it adds great action to anything that should swim. And that catches mo fish

  5. what knot have I been tying all this time? I do the first part just like him, tie the first knot and feed through the fly/lure. then feed line back through the knot. but then I pull on the lure and the line gently, to gently snug the first knot a bit. instead of doing the twists on the line with the line end, I do another knot on the line, just like the first. then I gently snug it up, and pull everything outward, which tightens both knots on the line and also pulls the two knots together, locking them tightly against each other. it's a much faster loop knot, and it has never failed for me.
