Tying a monofilament loop to fly line enables easy attachment of a tippet or leader via that loop. To create a permanent monofilament loop, you will be required, during the formation process, to use the assistance of a secure hook or like object to apply considerable weight on the knot. Also a small amount of glue is also required to form the join. Taking the trouble to ensure that the structure is tightened firmly will ensure its longevity and produce a very secure attachment.

There are basic rules that apply to the tying of all knots in nylon monofilament, copolymer and cofilament lines. These rules apply in differing degrees to most of the knots, splices and hitches formed in multi-strand materials, such as Dacron, Micron, braided nylon and wire or cable leaders.

RULE 1: Be thoroughly familiar with all the knots you tie and continually practice the tying of those knots.

RULE 2: Always lubricate knots before tightening them, either with saliva, water or another similar lubricant. Knots tied in nylon monofilament, copolymer and cofilament lines are highly susceptible to heat friction.

RULE 3: When tightening the knot, do so gently but firmly. Do not draw the knot quickly as this can generate heat damaging the line. Give a few test pulls on the newly tied knot.

RULE 4: If you are not happy with a knot, always re-tie it until you are satisfied. Remember that a knot is effectively the weakest link between you and the fish.
