Palomar Knot

[HuckFinn]

I have been tying this knot like this for years and never thought to pass this tip along. I just assumed that all knew it.
For those of you who don’t here goes: it works well for young anglers as well for older anglers who might not see too well.
Take the end of the line and put it through the eye of the hook (lure…etc) about 5 inches or so.
Fold that end of the line back and put it back through the eye of the hook (lure…etc) forming a loop in the end of the line with the hook (lure…etc) hanging down and the end of the line against the main portion of the line from the reel.
Continue tying the knot as usual.
Using this method makes it easier to get the line through the eye of the hook (lure…etc)
I started tying the Palomar knot this way when I was young and had trouble getting the doubled section of line through the eye of the hook. I never posted this method of tying the knot before because I thought everyone knew it. I learned this weekend that some people didn’t so I thought I would post it.
Hope this helps someone
