Using the Loop Knot

Step 1
Run the tag end of the line through the eye of the hook. In the standing line make two backward loops as shown in the drawing. The standing line goes behind the tag end line.

 

Step 2
The second loop goes through the front of the first loop.
Step 3
The tag end then goes through the front of the second loop and bring the tag end of the line down to the side of the lure.

Step 4
While holding the tag end of the leader and the lure stationary pull on the end of the line going to the rod.
 
This is the easiest way I know to tie a Loop Knot that holds. Its fast, easy and gets the job done.
