How to tie it
Step 1: Fold the end of the line back on itself to make a loop a few inches long.
Step 2: Tie an overhand knot with the doubled line, passing the loop end through.
Step 3: Pass the loop end through the same opening once more.
Step 4: Wet it, hold the standing line and tag together, and pull the loop to seat the knot. Trim the tag.
