Open the Bail Arm and
tie the line to the spool
with a double slip knot.

---------------------------------------------------------

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.

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.

Make the PVA-Mesh approx

Hair Maggot Rig
(using Mono)

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.
