		Step 1 To start pass about 8" - 10" inches of line through the eye of the hook, swivel or lure. It's OK to use more line if needed.

		Step 2 Wrap the working end around the standing line, up and over 5 times.

		Step 3 Hold the coils in place, while pulling the working end towards the open loop just before the eye of the hook, swivel or lure.

		Step 4 While holding the coils in place, feed the end of the line through the first small open loop just before the eye, then through the big loop as shown.

		Step 5 Pull on the tag end while holding the standing line, to snug the coils up. Make sure the coils remain spiral and DO NOT overlap each other.

		Step 6 Slide the coils tight against the eye then snip the tag end, and your done.
