5.
Ensure tubing passes right over eye of hook...
|
The
Hunter Killer Mk1by Lee Cummings
1. When doubling
the mount, ensure that the needle goes well up inside and into the bottom
of the eye loops frayed end before coming out of the side... If you
only go as far as the end of the first loop with the needle point "or
just short of it" before coming out,.. the braid usually slips
back a bit when pulled tight and leaves only one diameter thickness
in the middle. This causes the snake to sag.
Below is an in depth
guide as to how I tie the snakes, using the example of the glow in
the dark variant ....Prompted by the original idea from Paul Hopwood.
2.
Double braided loop right through, nice and rigid. Note the position where
needle entered braid to make second loop for hook, In relation to the
eye loop,both loops run parallel...
