A slip loop or hanging loop is used to facilitate the "slip strike". This is primarily used when using a light tippet to protect it when you lift your rod. In steelheading it can be used to force a delay in the strike when fishing dries for steelhead as the fish will rise to the fly, make the take, and the angler must hesitate for a split so the fish can turn before the hook is set.
