Knot Tying Instructions

• Run about six inches of line through the hook eye, lure split ring, etc.
• Then fold the tag end back back so it is basically parallel to the main line.

• Next lay the tag end over the doubled line.
• A loop should be formed against the doubled line at this point.

• Bring the tag end up and "behind" the doubled line.

• Direct the tag end "through" the loop.This will begin the "first" wrap around the doubled over line.

• Make six wraps around the doubled line.
• Bring the tag end "through and out the top of the loop".

• After moistening pull the main line tight.
• The knot should slide against the hook eye seating itself tightly.
• Trim the tag end no closer than 1/8 inch from the knot
