loop knots

[jimbonda]

I like using loop knots to attach hooklengths to rather then crimps beads and swivels when making my own rigs. I use either dropper knots or figure of eight knots, ive never had anything that big when ive been using my own rigs (or without for that matter) but would hate the thought of my knot letting me down and loosing the fish.

Just interested to know what people think, which is the strongest out of the two I use or are there other better ones to use for this?

Stick with the figure of eight knot.
I use loop to loop connections for my Salmon leaders and found the above knot the strongest.

Figure of 8 mate.... better than the other one by a mile! I wouldn't want to catch anything decent on it though....certainly more than capable to pulling in something of a couple of pounds though.... used to use them as a kid and never ever had one fail though...

had a double figure cod years ago from the tyne on a loop knot, nowadays I prefer the old crimps swivels and beads on traces.
