Make this configuration in the line
against the hook, threading the eye if you wish.

Pull the loop over to form a new loop
and wrap the shank of the hook and the tag.

The knot should look like this.

Continue wrapping the shank until
the preferred number of wraps is in place.

Pull on the top and the bottom line until
the knot is formed on the shank.

If the snell is formed down a little from
the eye, a separation from a roughly turned
or sharp eye are reduced.
