Jon just saw your videos on loop tying and the one I did have problems with was the 2 and 3 inch hooklength after seeing your tying watched it 3 times and happy days I'm away keep posting mate I watch all your videos learning so much many thanks Gavin. Tight lines 😊
Nice one Gavin
43 people hit dislike...what's to dislike in this vid?...unless they sell tied up hooks lol? Great vid.
Always mischievous kids and people with fat fingers and their own agendas so no need to worry about them. Just like some people are United fans, some are City fans. I'm more focused on the 1000+ thumbs up ha ha! :-)
@@JonArthur Good answer mate, and thank you for all your videos....despite my name I'm just a pretty good club angler at best, which isn't a bad standard. But I am always happy to learn from the top lads.
I'm just coming back to fishing after an 8 year break, (Through illness) and this video is an absolute Godsend! My hands are not what they used to be, so this method of tying loops is invaluable information for me. Thank you so much, I have subscibed and clicked on the bell.
Glad to help John and welcome to the channel. Something for everyone I hope.
I came looking for tying the longer loop to use as a dropper on a flyfishing nymph rig and found it thank you. I carried on watching and found out the name of the splicing needle or gated needle which was featured in another YT video about knotting pheasant tail feathers for daddy long legs but I could catch the name of them so than you once again.
Glad I could help!
Thank you Jon, as a beginner to the match scene another few things to help
Very welcome
Came across this a few months late, but as an old geezer whose eyes ain't what they used to be, many thanks :-)
Glad it was useful Pat
Brilliant, I'm 71 years old & have FINALLY learnt how to use a loop tyer. Thank you very much!!
Fantastic. Glad I could help!
This is the best. Especially the easy way to use the loop tyre. I could never use that tool properly until I saw this video. Thank you 👌👌👌
Glad it’s helped
That loop tyer technique has changed my life! Brilliant thanks JA!
Great to hear!
The gate latch needle tip is gold cheers jon
Glad it helped
Cheers for the needle tip ,For someone with old an worn fingers an thumbs this will definitely help.
No worries, glad to help!
Best video on fishing knots for match angling on the interweb! Thanks Jon
Glad to help
Superb thanks jon no more holes in fingers. top bloke.
Glad you enjoyed it
Crafty bugger Mr Arthur, absolutely love it.
Cheers.
Great video, i love the loop tool thanks
Glad it helped
One of the best tips I’ve ever seen 😊
Glad you think so!
I’ll forever be in your dept john I’ve been struggling with these loops like you wouldn’t believe 🙈👌 cheers
Glad to help!
I've watched many videos regarding Tying rigs, loops etc, all very useful. However I have never seen anyone tying rigs and loops using a "Fly Tying vice" or a third hand as I call it, to hold your hook whilst tying, have you ever tried using one, I would advise anyone tying their own rigs etc to get one, cheap as chips yet invaluable.
Good tip
I've always struggled with the loop tyer. That's a great way John. Thanks a lot 👍
Happy to help!
Thank you Jon! Just got one of these loop tiers. Sick of my loops 'kicking off' at the knot. Your way looks much easier than others ways I have seen. Topman 👍🏼😊🙌🏽👌🏼👏🏽👏🏽
Glad it helped!
Top class, Thank you Jon
No worries!
Only just seen this. Great tips. Thanks Jon.
Glad it was helpful!
Simply the best.
:-)
I saw the loop tyer in your last video and tried it, I've had them ages but could never get my head round them! Perfect every time 👌
Great to hear!
Thanks for sharing Jonny nice and simple to follow 🌟
Glad you liked it!
Alan Scothorne some years ago on a video used a sensus loop tyer and I’ve used one ever since , the baiting needle is brilliant thanks for that Jon
Excellent
I've had one of those gizmo hook tyers for maybe 3 or 4 years now and couldn't use them (just like you at 4:00) in the way I saw them demonstrated, mainly because any rough skin or nail on your hand and the line gets caught. So thank you for showing me a different way. I just tied 8 loops of differing sizes very successfully! The figure 8 knot is more difficult to size up uniformally though no matter how you tie it. Brilliant though.
Glad it's helped!
Been trying my redundant hook tyer today using your method, brilliantly simple. Thanks Jon.
Glad it helped!
Thank's Jon for giving us your time for showing your tricks on hooklength's I actually have been using the double overhand loop for years and haven't let me down but with 10% stronger with the figure of eight I will have to give it a go but just can't get my head around tying them a bit fiddly for me but I will have another go thanks again always a great watch
All the best Paul
Great video Jon am just like you carnt get my head around using a loop tyer but I've given it another go after watching this and I can make perfect loops thank you so much
Andy
Great video thanks. The different use of the loop tier is so much easier for me.👍
Glad it helped!
thanks Jon great tip for the short hook lengths that I use a lot for shallow fishing
Glad to help
Great tips John i use the figure of eight as you say doesnt come undone the same way as a overhand knot does
Right on
Thanks for the tip on the splicing needle Jon, I'll try that next time I want to shorten a hooklentgh
No probs
Simply brilliant !
Many thanks!
Nice clear video Jon. Great work.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice one Jon, thanks 👍👍
No problem 👍
Just like all your videos Jon, brilliant and informative, many thanks
Many thanks!
Great info Jon..many thanks..
No worries!
Very very helpful cheers Jon
Happy to help
Brilliant, like you I couldn't use the loop tyer, but easy peasy now, thanks for sharing your knowledge and time, I will be on the bank tomorrow using my new found tips, cheers 🎣
Glad it helped
Hi Jon well your video is a lot better quality than the one I did on the same subject! Thank you for the tip on tying very short hook length as I struggled tying them for the helicopter rig. Stay safe until we can get out fishing again Bill
You too Bill
Best hooklength video on youtube Thanks Jon
Thanks GM
A great tip Jon, I was always hooking myself trying to make short hooklinks, I will try this next day off work👍👍👍
Have fun
Well done Jon the best way I've seen yet. and will put into practice myself, Thanks,
Glad it helped
@@JonArthur Brilliant Jon thanks .
great informative video Jon ,i used the loop tier another way ,but yours was much simpler and that shortening hook lengths with the gate needle was brilliant ,ive got one myself which can be put to better use now .
Glad it helped!
Very good hook length impressed
Thanks John that gated needle trick is awesome and gonna save me some time tying hooks.
Glad to help
All I use is the perfection loop, or figure of 8, never let me down either of them, great video buddy
Excellent info Jon been avoiding this style of tier but following this video will defo be getting one
Nice one
Genius way of trying those little buggers! Brilliant
Thanks Adrian

Jon.
I have asked about tying 2" hook lengths llops on 2 other forums, want name them. They wouldn't show how to do them. SO A MASSIVE THANKS from me.
Glad to have helped Eddie
cheers jon👍🙏
Thanks TC
Cheers mate great tips I'll be trying them after

Thanks Jon, very helpful, easy to follow video for a newbie to pole fishing/loop tying. Chris Herbert (Younger brother of Matt :-) )
Glad it was helpful! Say hello to Matt for me. I imagine he's still sitting on flyers! :-)
That’s great Jon what a clever way of doing it mate never seen it anywhere before cheers 👍
No worries
Just how I do my loops john thought I was doing them wrong sticking loop tyer in half way through process love the bait latch needle way will add that to my armoury thankyou and stay safe 👍👍
Glad it helped
thanks for this, really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Awsome little video very well put across, might just have changed my fishing 🎣 😀 👍
Glad you enjoyed
this is a cracking video the best and easyst way to tie knots
Glad it helped
Awesome mate
Cheers
Nice one......learned a couple of new tricks there..........very useful.....thanks
Happy to help
Like the gate latch one. Don't know if all fluorocarbons are like this but the one I use is much weaker using a double figure of eight and much stronger with a single.
I have messed around with double, triple and even quadruple but find a single is most reliable and neatest for hooklengths.
Excellent content jon good luck for fisho tomorrow I really hope you win if anybody deserves it you do , You can do this.
Cheers Nem
Brilliant that loop tyer has done me for years
Thanks Kevin
Fantastic video, John, thank you. I came across your channel earlier today, and am now a subscriber; cheers, and best wishes from Surrey. 😃
Welcome aboard!
Thanks your way works for me too 👏
Good to hear 👍👍
John

Great to hear!
Cracking little tip, show us more please jon
Thanks Chris
Spot on this Jonny boy
Cheers
Excellent..thanks
Most welcome!
Thanks for this nice little tip, as i've always struggled to get my hook lengths shorter than 4", should up my method feeder hook-ups as well my blob floats and jiggers.
Glad to help!
I use the loop tyer the same It's absolutely awesome great trick with the baiting needle Thank you john,ALIEN
Very welcome
Great!!!
Thanks for that Jon , I best get some practice in now mate.🤙
Have fun
Hi Jon, Thanks for showing this really good demo! I have been pulling out what hair I have left trying to tie loops after tying a spade hook. I want to try and use a Helicopter rig for Bream & Roach and the Rig is calling for 1 1/2" to 2" hook lengths to be effective ! The Chap said they were hard to tie, but worth the effort, and as you said, trying to use a loop tyer is a Nightmare for such a short length! Thanks again regards Paul.
No probs Paul
The short hooklength method is brilliant. I'll be using some 3" hooklengths on the method next time out. Cheers Jon.
Glad it’s helped
iv bought a lot of matrix gear and so far happy
Nice one HFA!
@@JonArthur I'm thinking if the box and a pole next
Easy way of tying a loop with the loop tyer .👍🏼
Thanks
thanks for that mate i have been struggling to do short hook lengths
No problem 👍
Thanks for showing the figure of eight plastic loop tier method. I can do the knot by hand but when i tried with the plastic loop tier before, the line always ended up kinked even with little pressure. First time with this method and I'm off to the races (or pond)!!!! - thanks👍
Glad it was helpful!
Great video as always Jon (your live match video are the best on CZcams!). I've just done a similar video on my channel for tying 2" hooklengths using a loop tyer, so they come out mm perfect everytime to fit on the pegs of a rig box ☺️. Quite fiddly though like you say! Lol.
Cheers Ian 👍👍👍
Very good nice and clear
Thanks a lot
Much easier, have a loop tyer but instructions seemed to make it hard to use so thanks. Will give it a try looks dead easy and also will start using a figure 8, I use them already for pole rigs
Good luck
short hooklengths! hallelujah you're a legend!
Thanks Andy :-)
Hi Jon, I use a band puller almost the same but you don’t need to close the latch
Great vid, some very useful information. I might even make some of those lethal hook length jigs myself and they can double up as traps 😂😂
thanks for sharing Atb Mark
Glad it was helpful! My new jig looks even deadlier ha ha
Thanks Jon, I would never have though of using a gated bait needle.
Hope it helped
thanks Jon you changed my mind on tying loops, and the one loop i had a problem with was the loop connecting pole rig to pole stonfo, and what a great tip on tying short hook lengths, very informative video
Great to hear!
Great advice jon
Do you ise any of these devices/tools for your loops when you are trying hook lengths?
Yes I do!
Great video as always Jon. Which brand of loop tyer are you using? I've got a couple but they have some rough edges which tends to kink the line.
The Ringers one
one i didnt know ty the 8 knot so il be tying a few today as il be fishing feeder and pellet waggler
Best of luck!
@@JonArthur yes was a day of Rudd 65 on total couple of bream ty
Great vid and tips Jon, just wished you had used a different background colour rather than the blue table, hard to pick the line out at times!
Cheers
learnt loads from your vids mate brilliant ,quick question ,i am thinking of using 3 inch hook legths instead of 4 inch for my f1 method fishing /shallow fishing ,now i can master tying these lengths up ,how can i store the 3 inch hook lengths ?? my hook box only allow 4 inch and upwards ,so do you know a way of storing 3 inch ones with out me having to buy a dedicated box for this thanks john
EVA spools are one solution, but some hooklength boxes will accommodate 3in, so shop around perhaps.
awesome
Thanks
I've noticed if i spin the loop tier away from myself i get an overhand loop, you have to spin it towards yourself to get a figure of 8 loop so take note if you're after the stronger figure of 8 loop.
For shorter hoolengths I use a pair of long nosed tweezers, but this method also looks a great idea.
Thanks Brian
Jon thanks this is very usefull but how do you make your loops with a bandum in the loop.
I just use a neat single overhand knot to put a band in the loop as that's not a crucial pressure point
Thanks Jon did discripe your channel.
