How to you tie a looped leader to your fishing line?
I’m new to fishing. I like to buy some of the hooks I use on leaders, but how do I attach the loop on the end to my regular fishing line?
If I understand you correctly, I think you mean the hooks that are bought already attached to a short length of mono with a loop on the end, and you want to know how to attach your main line to that loop?
Well, one way would be to tie another loop in the end of your main line and cow-hitch the two loops together. What’s a cow-hitch? Have a look at http://www.go-saltwater-fishing.com/paternoster.html.
Alternatively you could tie you mainline to the loop in the hook line with a uni-knot, as shown at http://www.go-saltwater-fishing.com/uni-knot.html.
And if you’re new to fishing, stick with it. It will bring you endless pleasure. Good luck, and tight lines.
