Advice from Lefty

Make knots tight. When knots fail, it’s because they haven’t been tightened.

Moisten mono, but do not moisten fluorocarbon with saliva. Fluorocarbon is slippery, and the oil in the saliva will make it more so.
Tighten by pulling on all ends, two at a time, till they’re tight.. Use pliers or hemostat on heavier line.

Non-slip loop knot—for flies over size 8.

Tag end should point toward the hook; otherwise it can pick up weeds or slime.
Make an overhand knot in the line. Then pass the tag end through the hook eye—and back through the loop.
Make the knot smaller by pulling on the long end
Make the loop smaller by pulling on the short end. Make the loop about 1/8th inch.
