I have been using the rapala knot when fishing lures, minnow baits, jigs, etc. I found that the loop seems to give the lure or jig better action. Does anyone tie a similar non slip type loop knot? Is the rapapa knot the best one? Thanks for any input.

Sometimes I find that using a small split ring helps create better action (for Rapalas), especially on the Provo.

You can tie a uni-knot and pull the tag end tight before the knot cinches and have a loop. I use it for everything, all species, all lures, all hooks, everywhere. And, it takes less than 10 seconds. It never fails.
It will sometimes pull tight and cinch down after you catch a fish, but that's a good thing because it forces you to re-tie, which you should do after every fish if you're concerned about catching the next one.

[font "Goudy Old Style"][blue]Wow that was awesome! Well worth watching. I have always wondered how to tie that knot. I watched the guys on In-Fisherman use it on a Pop-R and make it walk the dog![/blue][/font]

I use the Rapala knot for big tippet and small flies. It allows the fly to pivet better and gives the fly more action. This is really important on Henry's Lake.
