| Loops can be tied in the butt section
of your leader with one of two knots, either the perfection knot or the
surgeons loop. They have equal strength; the perfection knot is a
little neater and the surgeons loop is easier to tie. |

|
| Form a loop in the
end of your leader the end should be held parallel to the standing part. |
 |
| Form a second, larger loop in
the doubled portion of your leader You should now have a doubled loop and
a single loop. |

and through the doubled loop twice. |

loop with one hand and the standing part of the leader and the end together
in the other hand. |
