The return knot is a good knot for tying
hooks or lures to heavy monofilament, although it works best
on hooks with turned down eyes. It’s not a tricky knot
and anyone can tie it with just a few minutes practice.
1) Pass the line through the hook eye. Wrap the line around the
hook, and hold the loop between the thumb and forefinger.
2) Wrap the line around the hook again and hold both loops in place.
3) Pass the line under both loops.
Pull gently on the standing
part of the line whilst making sure that the loops stay
around
the hook shank. You can use your finger and thumb to hold
the
loops in position.
4) Finally lubricate with saliva and pull the knot up tight.
