How to tie it
- Tie an overhand knot in the line about 15cm from the end - don't tighten.
- Thread the tag end through the lure eye.
- Pass the tag back through the overhand knot (same side it came out).
- Wrap the tag around the standing line 3-5 times.
- Pass the tag back through the overhand knot again.
- Moisten and tighten carefully, leaving a small loop at the lure eye.
