Good stuff. Thank you. One question: given that both loops are for making it easy to swap out different hooks or sinkers, couldn't you use the same approach from leader to main line? I'm thinking like tying the swivel to the main line snug, then tying a loop at the top of the leader, and using the same technique (through then over) to attach the whole leader/dropper to the mainline without having to cut the thing off if you want to change off the dropper. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

@Saltstrong

I tested the surgeon's loop knot against the figure 8 and the surgeon's loop won when used on a fluoro leader. But results on knots often varies due to the line being used so you may very well have heard accurate info based on a test using a different line. And that's why it's very smart to test knots on the lines you use so that you know you make the right choice.

@Saltstrong

I have never seen a circle hook on a hardbait, but I would not recommend using them because circle hooks need more time to slide into the corner of the mouth compared to what a hard bait would allow. A few years back I tied some flies with circle hooks thinking they'd help ensure that not fish gets gut hooked... but I noticed that my hook set ratio plummeted so switched back to J hooks.

Could you use this knot setup for terminal tackle? By that I mean form the loop at the end of a leader (minus the weight and no middle hook) and switch between a plastic/jig or hook for live bait, say under a popping cork. (I mean I know you "could" but would the action and strength be workable?)
@Saltstrong

Yes, this knot can be used for terminal tackle, but I wouldn't recommend this quick change style for using artificial lures because it'll decrease the amount of action in the water the lure will have plus it could get difficult to pass a bigger lure with multiple hooks through the loop. But there is a way to use the surgeon's loop to allow for lots of action in the water... I'll made a video about exactly how to do that soon.
