I've never lost a fish with line breakage from this. It would be very obvious cause you'd be left with the knot and two little tags where it broke. The loop knot is a must for finesse lures like flies if you ask me.

I've had such good hook up ratio with Snelling the circle hook I'm hesitant to try loop knotting them, but maybe eventually I'll try it

I can't believe I'm the only one with circles on my tip ups...
