Using a Loop Know will allow you to catch more fish...

What's the OB's take on this??? Makes sense to me...

Capt. Charlie Thomason fished a hot-pink MirrOlure C-eyes topwater plug during a Tuesday trip out of Hopedale, and the speckled trout were smashing and crashing the lure.
Part of the reason, Thomason said, was because of how he tied the bait to his line.
"A loop knot is the knot you HAVE to use on these hard baits," he said. "People say you don't, but I'm telling you, you have to."
As its name implies, the loop knot leaves a loop at its connection with the eye of the lure. The knot cinches down before ever contacting the eye.
"(A loop knot) allows the bait to freely move and swim the correct way," Thomason said. "If not, your bait will want to go straight instead of walking the dog back and forth."
The knot is easy to tie. To see how Thomason does it, check out the video.

I use a weird triple uni that a guide taught me when I was little, leaves a loop that you can slide back open when the loop shuts on hook sets- it works.

What does the loop know?

I will stick with the Palomar knot

Every time I tie a loop knot, I've left with a huge loop. I feel like the knot is a little too noticable on the bait.

Rapala advocates using this knot for it's lures. Supposed to give the artificial bait full movement. I always have trouble trying to tie a loop knot though.

This seems kinda crazy to me and he's over thinking it. I tie a regular palomar knot on all my hooks/lures. Never noticed that the top dog doesn't properly "walk".
