While looking thru books on fishing at the mall bookstore,I found out how to tie what is called a "dropper loop" or "loop knot" which is used to tie on multiple hooks, jigs etc.one above the other. It is tied by forming an "O" shaped loop of the desired size and pinching the lines together between the thumb and index finger at the bottom of the "O" loop. Then take the long end(the tag end)of the line and pass it thru the"O" loop 7 times .Next(I used a fine crochet hook)reach thru the middle of twists and pull the top of the "O" loop thru the twists and pull up the line on both sides to tighten the knot and form a perfect loop that stands at a right angle to the main line. Sounds complicated but is easy when you actually try it. Good fishin.... |
