How to tie it
Step 1: Pass the line through the eye and lay the tag back alongside the standing line, leaving about eight inches.
Step 2: Bend the tag back toward the eye to form a loop lying over both strands.
Step 3: Wrap the tag around both strands and through the loop eight times, working away from the eye.
Step 4: Wet it and pull the tag to close the wraps, then pull the standing line to slide the knot until the loop is the size you want.
Step 5: Set it with a firm pull on the loop and standing line. Trim the tag, leaving a little extra in braid.
