Thread the eye of the hook with the tag
and make the configuration shown,
first passing the tag behind the main line.

The crossover is held between the thumb
and index finger of the left hand
to facilitate tying.

The first step is repeated and
the second crossover is also held between
the thumb and index finger of the left hand.

Again, the tag is passed behind the main line
and the crossover held between the thumb
and index finger.

Now tuck the tag through the centre
of the three loops and form the knot
by pulling gently on the tag against the hook.

Having formed the knot,
the loop will have enlarged.

Simply slide the knot down the leader
onto the eye of the hook.

The finished knot should lock down
onto the eye of the hook with the tag
pointing back up the leader.
