How to tie it
Step 1: Lay about 10" of the main line alongside the end of the leader, overlapping in opposite directions.
Step 2: Form a loop with both lines held together and pinch them where they cross.
Step 3: Put a finger in the loop and twist it three full turns.
Step 4: Pass the main line tag and the whole leader through the loop at the end of the twists.
Step 5: Wet the knot and pull all four ends to cinch it into a figure-eight shape, then pull the two standing lines tight and trim the tags.
