How to tie it
- Make a loop in the heavier line and hold it between thumb and finger.
- Pass the lighter line through the loop.
- Wrap the lighter line around itself and the loop 10-12 times, working back towards the loop opening.
- Pass the tag end of the lighter line back through the loop (same side it entered).
- Pull both lines to tighten. Trim both tags close.
