- 1). Tie an overhand knot 5 in. from the end of your line by forming a 5 in. loop and passing the end of the line through the loop. Do not pull the knot tightly because you will have to pass the line through it again.
- 2). Thread the free end of the line through your lure's eyelet and back through the center of the overhand knot.
- 3). Wrap the free end of the line around your fishing line three times.
- 4). Pass the free end of the line back through the center of the overhand knot, forming another loop in the line. Then, draw the end of the line through this new loop.
- 5). Moisten the knot with saliva. Tighten the knot by pulling on both ends of the line. Use your line clippers or scissors to trim the excess line.
