    The drawing follows this tying order. Pause, step, or scrub to stay with the words. The standing line runs to the reel. The tag is the short end you trim. Skin-hook means the point lies flat in the plastic, not out where grass can grab it.

  1. Step 1

    Middle the cord.

  2. Step 2

    Form the diamond around the neck.

  3. Step 3

    Pull the ends so it cinches under the lip.

  4. Step 4

    The handle loop stays open above.

  5. Step 5

    Lift by the handle.

Common mistakes

  • The sling above the shoulder, so the jug falls through.
  • An open loop that never cinches under the lip.
