The No-Slip Mono Loop Knot is my favorite loop knot. I have learned to use this knot with all fishing situations where a loop is called for. More often than not, I use a No-Slip Mono Loop when I connect Tarpon Flies on the end of my customer's line. This knot has been tested and proven with heavy and light lines in big game fights. The advantage to using a No-Slip is that it can be made with all diameters of line, dressed to size and it provides an open, round loop which is different than the "tear drop shape" of knots like the Perfection Loop. Open, circular knots have less tendency to allow the hook to get "snarffed" and disrupt the action of the fly in the face of the fish.
Watch how to tie this knot:
