Things You'll Need:
- Fishing hook Fishing line
-
Step 1
Double-up your line to a length of about 3 inches. Be careful not to cross one line over the other. You should have a loop with a circumference of about 6 inches pinched between your fingers.
-
Step 2
Push the doubled loop through the eye of the hook. This step, like threading a needle, is likely the most difficult. Crush down the head of the loop into a point to make it easier to slide the loop through the eye.
-
Step 3
Bring the loop that has gone through the eye of the hook back over and tie an overhand knot. Like the first step in tying shoelaces, simply use the doubled line to go over and then under the doubled line that has not been passed through the hook's eye. You should now have two loops. The first is formed at the doubling-over point from the beginning and the second produced by the overhand knot. The hook should be dangling loosely from this second loop.
-
Step 4
Pull the initial loop down and bring it completely over the dangling hook. There should be enough slack in the initial loop, created at the doubling-over point, to bring the hook through.
-
Step 5
Tighten the knot. The loop folded over the hook will tighten, constricting the overhand knot, making it effectively impossible to undo the doubled line. You are now ready to cast.
