I start with my line threaded through the hook eye and then treat the doubled line as one line and just proceed tying a overhand knot wrapping it three times before cinching it up.



First overhand wrap.


Third overhand wrap.


My tied loop knot.




Just the way I tie mine and don't have a problem with them other than not catching enough fish.

Thanks Lee...that is my brand of jig head also

The end loop on mine would have been much longer but before closing the overhand knot I use the jig eye to hook inside the loop and force the knot to close further down the line closer towards the jig head. Before finally cinching the overhand knot let the jig eye come out of the overhand knot loop. This will put the final knot closer to the jig head thus a much shorter loop for the jig to hang from.

Lee...stay closer to those feeders and that'll solve the no catching issues

nice reply, though, with the pictures Lee......that was a nice easy to follow demo......thanks
