How to Tie a Loop Knot: Best Fishing Knot for Lures and Jigs

Jeff Weakley, editor of Florida Sportsman Magazine, breaks down how to tie a non-slip loop knot, an easy and useful fishing knot that every fisherman who uses artificial lures needs to know. The ‘Kreh Loop,’ a.k.a the non-slip loop knot, is a fishing knot of choice for many lure or jig anglers, and for good reason. It’s easy to tie, strong and is relatively weedless due to the placement of the tag, which points back toward the lure keeping it from grabbing grass and other unseen debris. This knot is perfect for terminal connection knots and is ideal for topwater "walk-the-dog" style plugs and other artificial lures because of the range of motion this knot allows in the water.
