Kreh Loop Knot And A Tarpon

Kreh Loop Knot And A Tarpon.
I really only use four different knots so I figured I would do a video about each. To make it a bit more interesting, I will add a Tarpon video to spice things up. The first knot is the Krey Loop Knot. Any time that I am using live bait or artificial lures, I prefer to use a loop knot. If I am using cut bait, then another knot is fine. The loop knot allows for more action by not constricting the eye of the hook.

And I caught a Tarpon.
