The Crawford knot often is overlooked by even the most skilled anglers. It is a very versatile knot for tying most types of hook, swivel, or lure "eyes" to a leader or line. The Crawford knot is not nearly so difficult to tie as it looks. |

| 1. Insert the line through
the hook eye, leaving about eight inches for tying the
knot. Bring the line end back around the standing part
of the line to form a loop.
2. Now bring the line end under the standing part of the line, and over the two parallel lines, as shown.
3. With twists forced tightly together, hold standing line in one hand with tension just slightly off the vertical position. With other hand, move tag end to position at right angle to twists. Keeping tension on loop with knees, gradually ease tension of tag end so it will roll over the column of twists, beginning just below the upper twist.
4. Spread legs apart slowly to maintain pressure on loop. Steer tag end into a tight spiral coil as it continues to roll over the twisted line.
