Egg Loop Fish eggs and roe make excellent bait but they are difficult to attach to a hook. Use the Fish Egg Loop Knot to tie your own leaders that will accommodate using the eggs or roe. The Egg Loop is useful in Salmon and Steelhead fishing. After tying the knot push a little of the leader back into the hook eye to form the loop.

Egg Loop

1. Start with about 4 feet of leader and thread leader through hook eye to bend in hook. Hold in place with thumb and forefinger.

2. Make 10 - 20 tight wraps back toward bend in hook.

3. Hold wraps firmly in place and thread end of leader back through hook eye in opposite direction. 4. Make 5 more wraps.

5. Pull on leader to tighten down the knot.

6. Open up the line on top of the hook into a loop to hold the eggs or roe sack.

Many knots are not suitable for the risks involved in climbing. Seek professional instruction. Many of these knots have histories of use tracing back hundreds of years. However, many critical factors in their use today cannot be controlled, including: the appropriateness of knots used in particular applications, the age, size, and condition of ropes (knots weaken the rated breaking strength of rope anywhere from 50% to as much as 80%, even more in the case of old and worn rope); and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed.
