Dave,

Here is the overhand loop. It is said to weaken the line by 50% in some circles. I don't really agree. The key is to maintain the "lay" and not twist it over itself. I've caught too many large fish on 6X & 7X tipped with loop to loop overhand loops to believe that it weakens the line by 50%. The perfection loop however does keep the loop straight. On heavy mono I prefer that. But on normal trout and bass rigs, I don't see an issue.
