Tying Knots - The Click
by Ken Collins - May 14, 2016

Step 1- Tippet end through eye of hook
Thread tippet through eye of the hook and continue to pull 5 inches of extra tippet through.

Step 2 - Make a loop
While holding onto eye of hook and not letting tippet move - Make a loop that runs parallel to tippet and sits directly above the eye of the hook.

Step 3 - Twisting loop
Make sure to turn only the loop 3 exact turns around the main length of tippet that comes from your leader.

Step 4 - Tippet end through loop
Do not let anything un twist but know thread tippet end through remainder of loop

Step 5 - Knots new position
Your knot body should be loose and sitting 1 inch away from eye of hook

Step 6 - Tightening of knot
Keep hold of the hook (carefully of course). Keep pulling tippet and main part of tippet until knot area snugs up around the main strand of tippet.

Step 7 - Snug Knot to hook
With steady slow pulling action - pull knot until it seats itself against the eye of the hook.

Step 8 - The Click – Part one
Crucial stage here. Keep pulling now. Notice the position of tippet end and keep your ears open. The knot click is micro seconds away.

Step 9 - The Click – part two
Did you hear it or see the tippet end jump and set itself on a distinct angle from the main tippet. If yes success fish it. If no cut and re tie.
