I had this very same problem when I first attempted to tie it.

 

I was trying to make the loop no bigger than 3-4mm.

 

When I realised that the loop only had to be slightly smaller than the bait you are using it was a piece of cake.

 

Getting pretty good at it now too, I'm down to 28mm boilies

I can only say practise practise & practise, try tying the knot on cheap mono i'st then move onto your preferd hooklength material,good luck pal

Personally i use a little gadget, that makes perfect loops everytime...

 

Its a little circular piece of plastic from Seymo Tackle that has two sides, one for large and one for small loops.

 

Basically what you do is tie a overhand knot and put the loop over the long shaft and the knot over the short shaft and pull it tight.

 

The result is a formed loop at the correct size and as you pull the knot off the small shaft, it creates a perfect size loop.

 

Think you can still get these from most tackle shops, look in the match section.
