The lassoo knot is basically a 5 or 6 turn grinner knot used to make the loop on a knotless knot hair rig. It's the same knot that everyone should be using to tie on swivels etc.
1. Tie the lassoo knot, put a pellet in then tighten down onto the pellet.
2. Tie the knotless knot with the pellet in place but make allowance on the hair length for opening the loop up when the pellet needs replacing.
3. Tie multiple hooklengths and store them in a prestons 12" hooklength box either with or without the pellets in place.
The friction of he lassoo knot holds the pellet more securely and sometimes you can catch a number of fish on one pellet before it needs replacing.
The loop is best opened up with something like 2 quickstop needles.
