    Typically I pass through the hook twice and wrap between 3-5 times before going through the loops. I've bent hooks and snap line before the knot gives. Sometimes I don't like that tho. Think the knot should give before losing main line.

    The diagram I learned ths from gave the impression I had to pull both the tag end and the main line. Still worked but half the time it never looked quite right and I had to do it again, I also had to hold the swivel in my mouth to pull on both ends with both hands. This looks much easier thanks.

    GREAT VIDEO! Visually and short and too the point. Other guys want to talk and talk to hear themselves talk for simple video. Thanks for not being long winded and using a good contrasting background to show the viewers better.
    Question: im going to try this knot on my bass lures. How many wraps do u recommend for 6 pound to 10 pound fluoro?

    I’m doing exactly what your doing and the line keeps twisting and the knot doesn’t form properly. I’m pulling the longer line end to seal the knot and it doesnt slide down. What the fuck am I doing wrong….

    They say this knot doesn’t work on braided line but I have no issues I just run it through the twice. This the only knot I can remember to tie.

    Hi all. Been tying this knot all my life hooks and swivels !!!! Never ever let me down and still use it to this day even snagged on wrecks and rough ground hooks staightend !!!!! But never this knot . It's everyone to there own but I highly recommend this knot and I've been a fishermen for 45 years sea river and lakes. I've tried every knot there is to know but this knot will always be number one for me 😃😃😃 as they say tight lines everyone.
