The Homer Rhode Loop enables a lure to swing freely and can be tied with mono or braided line, even plastic-coated wire if need be. Be sure to use pliers to make the turns tight.
To Tie a Homer Rhode Loop:
Tie an overhand knot in the standing part and pass the tag end through the eye.
Pass the tag end through the loop of the overhand knot.
Make three or more turns on the tag end around the standing part, depending on the type of line (the slipperier, the more turns).
Pass the tag end back through the overhand loop.
Tighten the turns and pull the tag end to bring the wraps together, then pull the standing part to tighten the knot.
