One of the best terminal tackle connections any angler should know how to tie.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10
- One of the easiest knots to tie. Great for braid, monofilament and flurocarbon. Actually performs well in all three line types.
- Strong as anything.
- The final position of the loop is in question and has always been. Both options have their benefits depending on your line types.
- Looks very messy when using thick monofilament and flurocarbon.
- Tag exit on one variant is problematic .
