Step 1
(2) Wrap the tag end of the line around the main line?five times (turns) for line testing up to 12 pounds, four times for lines testing heavier than 12 pounds.
Step 2
(3) Pass the tag end back through the loops. Then, before cinching the knot, apply a bit of saliva to lubricate the line. Cinch up the knot by applying tension on the main line and the tag end at the same time.
