A question about using the non-sip loop. I find in 4X and down it holds well, but anything in 5X or higher and I'm in trouble, because the loop just fails on decent sized fish. I've tried sitting and tying that thing according to the directions on bunch of YT videos, but whenever I test it out it just doesn't hold up compared with a regular knot, like an Orvis knot. Can I tie a good, strong non-slip loop using fine tippet? Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated, thank you:)
