HALF BLOOD KNOT

Pass the line through the eye of the hook forming a small loop near the eye. Then wrap the free end of the line around the mainline, 6 or 7 times, working away from the eye of the hook.On the 7th turn, bring it back to the first small loop you formed, and pass the line through it. Wet and pull so it gathers tightly up to the eye, then trim.

OVERHAND LOOP
