tcbuk Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 hi i have a big problem when tying the loop at the end of the knotless knot (the loop that the bolie gos on )anyone got any tips i havnt got the best eyesight in the world thanks 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash_gadgeteer Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 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.
