It's most effective on lines under 20-pound test. 1. Pass the line through the eye of the hook, swivel, or lure. Double back and make five turns around the main line. 2. Holding the coils in place, thread the tag end through first loop (small loop) above the eye, then through the second loop (big loop). 3. Hold the tag end and main line while pulling up the coils. Make sure the coils are in a spiral, not overlapping each other. Then let go of the tag and pull on the main line sliding the knot against the eye. 4. Cinch the knot down tight, Test the knot, and then clip the tag end no shorter then the width of the eye. HUCK-FIN Environmental Education Non-profit Fed ID# 33-0479034 P.O.

It is often used as part of a leader system because it is relatively strong. 1 - Double the tag end of the line. Make a single overhand knot in the double line. 2 - Leaving the loop open, bring the double line through once more. 3 - Hold the standing line and tag end, and pull the loop to tighten the knot. You can adjust the loop size by shifting the loose knot before tightening. 4 - Trim tag end to about 1/8 inch. HUCK-FIN Environmental Education Non-profit Fed ID# 33-0479034 P.O.

First Position fingertip control- Helps to maintain proper position when casting, fighting a fish, reeling in the fish and staying balanced with the rod and reel. 2. Pull twelve inches- Helps you to create the leverage and whipping action you need in casting bait and/or lures. It helps you know and adjust to the proper drag setting for the pound test line and equipment your using. 3. Open Bail- Allows you to get use to putting the Bail in the correct position for casting. 4. Drop- Creates the proper fingertip control feel and release of the line. 5. Close Bail- Helps you maintain manual dexterity used in finding and closing the Bail without looking. 6. Slack line position- Teaches you to reel in excess loose line and also helps in finding and fixing tangled or knotted line. Leaves the line reeled tightly on the spool. 7.
