Tie an underhand knot in the leader but
leave it loose. Pass the tag of the leader
through the eye of the lure.

Thread the tag back through the knot.

Bend the tag back over the main line,
up through the crossover to form the underhand
knot, and then up through the gap between
where the tag was passed through the knot.

Close the knot with pressure on the loop
against the main line.
