This knot, named for famed angler Lefty Kreh, is also known as the Non-Slip Mono Loop. For some, the Kreh Loop Knot is easier to tie than the Rapala Knot and is just as reliable. It creates a non-slip loop at the end of a line for loop-to-loop connections, which are used with flies and lures to give them the most natural action possible. Learn how to tie the Kreh Loop Knot following the 4 steps below.
Step 1: Measure about 10 inches from the end of the line and make an overhand knot.
Step 2: Thread the tag end of the line through the eye of the hook. Wrap the tag end around the standing part of the line 4 to 5 times.
Step 3: Thread the tag end back through the newly created overhand knot, entering from the opposite end as the hook. Lubricate the knot and pull on the tag end to loosely tighten the knot.
Step 4: Finish tightening the knot by pulling the loop and standing part of the line in opposite directions. Trim the tag end.
