1. **Double the Line**: Start by doubling about 6 inches of line and passing it through the eye of the hook or swivel.
2. **Tie a Basic Overhand Knot**: With the doubled line, tie a simple overhand knot, but do not tighten it completely. You should have a loop.
3. **Pass the Hook Through the Loop**: Take the hook or swivel and pass it through the loop you just created.
4. **Tighten the Knot**: Moisten the knot slightly with water or saliva to reduce friction, then pull on both ends of the line to tighten the knot. Trim any excess line.
Another great option is the Uni Knot, which is versatile and can be used for connecting leaders to the main line as well. To tie a Uni Knot:
1. **Thread the Line**: Pass the end of the line through the eye of the hook or swivel and create a loop.
2. **Wrap the Line**: Take the tag end and wrap it around the standing line and the loop 5-7 times, moving from the hook towards the tag end.
3. **Pass Through the Loop**: Pass the tag end back through the loop you created.
4. **Tighten the Knot**: Moisten and pull on both ends to tighten the knot, then trim any excess.
Both of these knots are strong and effective for tying leaders, so you can choose based on your preference. Happy fishing!
