Egg Loop Knot for Kings |
Step 1
Push the working end of the line through the hook's eye from the top and all the way down the shank. Wrap the standing end of the line around the hook's shank and the working end of the line beginning just below the hook's eye.
Step 2
Keep the wraps tight without overlapping them. Complete 15 to 20 wraps and play out several inches of slack on the standing end. Keep pressure on the wrappings so they don't uncoil.
Step 3
Put the standing end of the line through the hook's eye from the bottom and use the extra slack produced in Step 2 to make about five additional wraps around the hook, working end and standing end. Both sets of wrappings must have tension on them at this stage.
Step 4
Pull the standing end of the line slowly to take up the remaining slack as you release the tension on it and continue pulling the knot tight.
Step 5
Make a bait loop of the desired size by pushing slack line back through the hook's eye with the standing end of line. The line can then be pulled tight after the loose bait has been secured with the loop.
