1. Form a four-inch loop in the end of the line and pinch it between your thumb and forefinger, leaving a foot-long tag end. Slide the hook to the loop base.

3. Repeat Step 2. This time form a third medium-size loop. Move the hook to the top of the smallest loop and pass it between the medium and large loop. Use pliers to pull the hook and snug the knot.
