Thread tippet through the hook eye, and then run back up along standing main line. Next, form a long loop by taking the tag end back towards the hook. Hold tag end and hook eye between thumb and index finger.

Wrap the long, formed loop around the standing line 3 to 4 times.

Now bring the tag end away from the hook and back up through the loop.

Pull the tag end until the knot is snug, not tight. Wet the knot

To tighten the knot, pull slowly on the standing line until the knot seats against the hook eye. When done correctly, you will feel and hear a slight click or "pop".
