It's the easiest loop I've found to tie. "When there was no fowl, we ate crawdad, when there was no crawdad, we ate sand." "YOU ATE SAND!" - Raising Arizona

Put the line thru the eye of the hook, keep the jig in the loop and do as shown in this video. I try to have the knot 1/4" or less from the eye of the hook but never touching it. I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member
