How to tie it
Step 1: Pass the line through the eye and lay the tag back along the standing line, leaving about six inches.
Step 2: Bend the tag back toward the eye to make a loop over both strands.
Step 3: Wrap the tag around both strands and through the loop five times.
Step 4: Wet it and pull the tag to close the wraps.
Step 5: Pull the standing line to slide the knot down to the eye, or stop short to leave a loop. Trim the tag.
