1. Double about 10 cm of line, and pass it through the eye of the hook.
2. Tie a simple Overhand Knot (granny knot) in the doubled line letting the hook hang loose. Avoid twisting the lines.
3. Pull the end of loop down, passing it over the hook.
4. Lubricate and pull both ends of the line to tighten the knot.
