1. Begin by tying a Palomar Knot with a long tag end. Double 12 to 30 inches of line (depending on how high you want the bait off the bottom) and pass end of loop through eye of hook.
2. Tie a loose overhand knot with the hook hanging from the bottom of the loop formed.
3. While holding the overhand knot between thumb and forefinger, pass end of loop over the hook. Slide loop to above eye of hook.
4. Pull on both standing line and tag end to tighten down the knot onto eye of hook. Now feed tag end back through hook eye from above.
5. Attach a small weight to end of line desired distance from hook and trim tag. Attach bait to hook.
