The Palomar Knot is a general-purpose connection used in joining fishing line to swivels, snaps, hooks and artificial lures. The double wrap of line through the eyelet provides a protective cushion for added knot strength.  

1 - Double the line and form a loop three to four inches long. Pass the end of the loop through the hook's eye.  

2 - Holding standing line between thumb and finger, grasp loop with free hand and form a simple overhand knot.  

3 - Pass hook through loop and draw line while guiding loop over top of eyelet.  

4 - Pull tag end of line to tighten knot snugly and trim tag end to about 1/8 inch.
