First thread the line through the eye of the hook.
Tie a simple overhand loop to form a hair loop.
Adjust the position of your line to get the correct length then hold the line at the eye firmly with you finger.
Whip the main line five or six times around the shank of the hook. The direction of the whip should be away from the hook eye closure.
Hold the whipped section down tight and go back over it in the opposite direction and through the eye of the hook.
Draw down tight slowly moistening the line before doing so.
