I confess that I occsionally use it too. In my fly fishing, I use the loop
to loop method of attaching lines. When I have only a small amount of line
and need a small loop, I use it.. However it is usually the knot that
breaks when I put pressure on the line.

Fuss? No fuss. I offer no (positive) claims about the loop in
question. In fact, I'm not especially fond of it, as I mentioned in
my original post. The Perfection Loop has come up in discussion at
rec.crafts.knots and I thought that I'd share an overlooked method of
tying for those who are interested for whatever reason. For some, it
may just be academic. For others, they might have an application for
which they occasionally use the loop. I know a few anglers use it in
some line so I included rec.outdoors.fishing in addition to
rec.crafts.knots.

Cheers,
roo

Why all of this fuss about the perfection loop? I have read that it
tests
poorly and that there are a number of different loops that test to be
much
stronger..one being the non-slip loop. Does anyone have any test
results to
show differently?
