The next thing we're going to do is a little section on loop knots. And, there's a lot of different reasons you might want to use a loop. Either to attach your backing to your fly line, or, the leader to a fly line, or even to attach the tid-bit to the end of the liter. The loop is a lot easier way to do it and a lot of times you don't have to tie the knot, the nail knot or the needle nail knot. And a lot of times if you even attach a tidbit to the end of your liter, you can pre-loop short sections of tidbit, carry them with you and then instead of having to tie that really thin tidbit with your cold fingers, or you know in poor light conditions you can just do a loop-to-loop connection which is a lot quicker and a lot easier. So we'll do several different loops and I'll show you several different applications for those loops. All the way from a, the easiest which is probably the serpents loop, up to the harder perfection loop, and even a Biminis twist, which is a really fancy way to make another loop, just to attach a fly line to a liter.
