1. First tie a small loop in the end of your hook length line, then thread the line through the back of your eyed hook.
2. Pull the hook length through the eye of the hook until the hair hangs at the desired length from the bend in the hook. Now hold the hair securely and begin whipping the hook length around the hook shank and hair.
3. Keep the whipping as tight as possible, continue whipping down the hook shank until they sit adjacent to the point of the hook. Now make one final whip up and on top of the previous whippings. Finally thread the end of the hook length through the back of the hook`s eye once more. Pull tight and tie to your mainline or rig.
The Palomar Knot is easy to tie correctly, and is consistently the strongest knot known to hold terminal tackle.
1. Double about 4” of line and pass the loop through the eye of the hook.
2. Let the hook hang loose, and tie an overhand knot in the double line. Avoid twisting the lines and do NOT tighten the knot.
3. Pull the loop end on the line far enough to pass It over the hook, swivel or lure. Make sure the loop passes completely over the attachment.
4. Pull both the tag end and the standing line until the knot is tightened. Clip off the tag ends of the fishing line.
Remember always lubricate knot (saliva) before pulling tight.
Thread the line through the eye, Twist the free end three times round the main line, up through the loop holding the hook and pull down through. Moisten line and pull tight.

PVA Funnel Web mesh (Long Chuck).
Main Line
Fine Groundbait Mix
Hook
Tip, when using PVA-mesh try using a fine groundbait at the bottom of the mesh, this will not only help to protect the hook, but create a really flavoured cloud, to help draw the fish in, use your own choice of offerings for the main mix.
Thread as many maggots as you require onto a needle.
Make up a knotless knot using a size 10 wide-gap hook, make sure you leave the hair long.
Thread maggots from the needle onto hair, then return `mono` hair back through the eye of the hook, to form a loop. Using a lighter, form a blob on the end of the mono hair to prevent it pulling back through the hook eye. Job done.
