I've just started doing this after an issue with crimps, it's really easy using a figure of 8 knot just don't attach the hook until you've tied the ring swivel on .

I can easily get a loop as small as I did crimping .

Also found 25lb boom snapped at around 24lb with a figure of 8 knot both ends .

Get your line, thread it through the ring\swivel, double the line up so you effectively have a loop with a ring\swivel on it, then tie the figure of eight as normal, carrying the ring\swivel.
Or am I missing something in the question?

Rapala knot is nearly always pictured on a lure😉

It is the loop knot I always use whenever I need a loop.

No probs, mate.

Some of those sea fishing and predator videos are pretty good. The non slip loop knot and rapala knot are used carp fishing now, same as the figure 8, but they all started out for using with lures

I know the knot feller well enough, it's how you get it on the ring.

To do the knot you need to pass the loop though the ring twice, but the ring is attached to the hook. Are you making a massive loop for all the items to go through, or are you doing it from the other end? I'm just looking for the easiest way, thanks.

Might seem an odd question, but how do you get a loop on a small ring at the end of the Ronnie rig please?

I've seen it done in fluorocarbon and braid, but cannot see how to achieve it, hope you get what I'm asking. This is a knot and not a crimp, thanks all.
