The Homer Rhode Loop The Homer Rhode loop is a useful knot for attaching lures when using heavier monofilament leaders. It combines two smaller knots, which slid together, create a reinforced loop. The Homer Rhode loop is easily tied and particularly useful to the lure fisherman. The knot is most effective as it lets lures and files work freely at the end of the loop and mimic the action of baitfish or nymphs. The Homer Rhode Loop has only limited freshwater fly-fishing application, however can be used extensively in saltwater fishing situations. Line Classes: Medium to Heavy. Line Types: Monofilaments Retained Breaking Strength: 75-80% Application: Lures to heavy leader The Thumb Knot The Thumb knot is a handy knot for attaching heavy line to terminal tackle. It retains approximately 75% of line strength and is relatively easily tied using even the heaviest lines. Care should be taken on the tightening to ensure the knot develops evenly. There are plenty of other terminal knots you can use with higher breaking thresholds, however, if you are working with heavier line, over 10kg (21lb) for instance, then the Thumb knot becomes a good option.
