which loop knot do you use

for plastics and lures??

i started with the rapala knot but i find it a bit untidy although it does hold well.

just been giving the perfection loop a try out on dry land, and thats very tidy and seems to stand up well. will give this a try out next time.

what do you guys find works well??

Usually rapala knot or a uni

Usually rapala knot or a uni knot (clinch tight, then pull up a little giving a gap). Perfection knots arent all that strong though (guess it doesnt matter if your leader is twice as strong as your main line)

Rapala knot for me with jig hooks for soft plastics and for tying hard bodied lures too.

Cheers
