I've never felt the need to tie one but was thinking about starting.

I use the perfection loop when I snell hooks for fishing with bait. I never use a loop at the hook/lure.

Only loop knot I tie is Rapala Loop knot. I learnt that years ago from rapala package, I believe. These day most of the lure that require loop knot come with spit ring so eliminate the need of loop knot. Or if I use speed clip also I don't need to tie loop knot just straight trilene knot on the clip or spit ring.

Thanks Fellas. 

Never felt the need to use one either. Just checking

I am lazy and use small duoloc snaps on my crank baits.  Never had one fail.

Use Norman speed clips, don't like using loop knots either.

Kreh's loop is the best loop knot I've tried. Similar to the Rapala loop, but the tag end points down...imo a stronger, neater knot all around.

That's the one I tie as well.

I use the Rapala Loop, might give the Kreh's loop a try. It could be my imagination, but I feel like my lipless crankbait gets a little more wobble when I use a loop knot. I also use it on spooks. 

Canoeman loop knot , it's the only one I use. I've caught everything from 120 lb tarpon to gag grouper on it , so I know it holds no matter what.

I just looked that up...it looks really complicated...until you try it.

 

 

Cool knot, will give it a shot next time I'm out.

 

...I'm wondering how well it'll work on flies...
