How to tie: Tie a loose overhand knot in the tag end, leaving a 3-4 inch tail Pass the tag end through the hook or fly eye Bring the tag end back through the overhand knot, retracing its exit path Wrap the tag end around the standing line using 7 wraps for lines under 8 lb, 5 wraps for 8-12 lb, or 4 wraps for 15-40 lb Pass the tag end back through the overhand knot again, following the same route Moisten the knot Pull the tag end to partially tighten the wraps Adjust the loop size as needed Finish tightening by pulling the standing line Trim the tag end Field insight: This knot is essential for bonefish flies and twitchbaits where subtle movement makes all the difference
