    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

    Tie a loop near each end of the section.

  2. Step 2

    Each tag goes through the other loop.

  3. Step 3

    Pull both tags.

  4. Step 4

    The lashing tightens.

  5. Step 5

    Lock the tags.

Common mistakes

  • The tags rove through the same loop.
  • No hitch to lock the purchase.
