>>473541One of my favorite knots is the surgeon's end loop. It's easy to tie even in the dark (which is a big advantage to me), keeps the lines test pretty well, and since it's a fixed loop it allows the bait to float more natural in the water. It's pic related
The only difference between the Rapala Knot
>>474275 and the Non-Slip Loop knot
>>473936 is that the Rapala Knot has the extra tuck at the end. Pretty much the Non-Slip Loop knot is a clinch knot over a fixed end loop while a Non-Slip Loop knot is a improved clinch knot over a fixed end loop. I would recommend the Rapala Knot for the same reason I would recommend an improved clinch knot.
Always make sure you lubricate your knots before you tighten!
