That Pitzen knot looks interesting and I'll be testing it out on my flies.
Easy Gary for I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am no where near being the MAN. You said one of the problem was when the lure is TOO LARGE to pass through the loop. Just make the loop larger. I have tied 14" long trout imitating lures using it. Literally you can make the loop large enough to put yourself thru it if you need to.
