- Cut line into lengths 6 inches longer than your intended leader length.
- Put end #1 into eye of hook from top
- Hold end #1 against shaft and wrap 6-8 turns down shank with line from just above eye
- pinch last wrap with finger tips to keep coils tight
- grab end #2 and put though eye of hook from shank side until approximately one inch sticks out of eye
- With fingers that are holding line coils around shank slide them to also pinch the line from end #2 against shank
- grab line that wrapped coils around shank and wrap four more coils along shank over the top of line end #2 that is pinched against shank
- Keep coils tight and pull line end #2 until slack line is taken out of hook
- For double hooks slide another hook on line where you want it spaced above the first hook and repeat steps 1-8
- Pass the end of the line through the swivel.
- Pull about 5 inches of line through and double it back against itself.
- Twist 6 times.
- Pass end of line through small loop formed just above the eye.
- Then through the big loop you’ve just created.
- Pull tag end and main line so that coiled tightens against the eye.
- Trim excess
- make sure coils lay smoothly
For a even tougher knot double the line first then tie the improved clinch knot. The extra line cushions the knot even better
