I'm really glad you did this video! I once saw a video where someone tied this loop but did not say the name of the knot. For a long time I looked for the name until recently when I saw a video on tying the Homer Rhode loop knot. Neither of them, however, mentioned any of the tips you gave here Brian. Good job!
I just caught my personal record size fish on a fly rod today. A 10” long large mouth bass. Maybe someday I’ll have a use for this, but it seems pretty far off.
The Homer Rhodes Loop Knot allows you to make the loop small. It is hard to tie a perfection loop with a fly and keep a small loop. This is my main reason for using the Home Rhodes loop knot.
Thanks for tuning in - Stay tuned, lots of great stuff coming your way this week!
Thanks Brian, now if I could only remember all of the knots you've shown us. Keep the good stuff coming,
Pretty sure there is a playlist here where you can find them all in one place?
My favorite knot for tarpon w/ a bit tippet. 30# and below I just use a 3twist Kreh.
Thanks for watching!
I will be using this improved loop knot from now on. Thanks for sharing this new to me knot.

I’m literally driving back from catching a couple of snook on the fly lol, Hi!!
Thanks for watching.
Wished that were my case, but Tampa Bay is a deadzone.
@@aaronhiggs Five down to the Venice jetties in Sarasota and you catch snack on the fly during an outgoing tide
Nice Howler mug. Heed the call.

Butter.

Good work and thanks for watching.
How well does this knot work on smaller diameter material? Would it work for 10-12LB line?
It does but not as strong as a Non-Slip Loop Knot.
Cool beans
Thanks for being here.
*me never catching a fish over 5 pounds in my life:
Hell yeah I gotta try this knot
That's the idea. Appreciate the enthusiasm.
Great video. Can this be used with wire for toothy critters?
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions over to Brian at the shop via e-mail or phone and he will be happy to help.
Is it stronger than the Baja knot? Perfection loop?
Please send those questions over to Brian at the shop and he’ll be happy to help. You can email him or call him. Thanks!
Would a perfection knot work just as good? I use 80lb flouro if the blues are finicky
A loop knot is best with the heavy stuff.
