Tying the Non-Slip Loop Knot
1. Take your leader line and tie and overhand knot a few inches from the end.
2. From there you're going to take your tag end and slide it through the eye of your hook or fly.
3. Then you're going to take the tag end and run it back through the loop you created with your overhand knot.
4. From there, wrap the tag end of your line around the standing end two or three times, and then back through the loop you created with your overhand knot.
5. Tighten down on both the tag end and standing end of your line so that your non-slip loop knot is nice and snug. Then, you are just going to snip off any remaining line on your tag end.
