Then push the tag end through the eye of the hook on the opposite side to the point. Next, using a gate ended splicing needle, push through the bait to be used and thread it onto the looped end. This helps to set the desired length of hair. Then secure bait on the hair by putting a bait stop, or a twig or bit of grass if you can't get these, through the loop and pulling the bait up tight to it. Hold the hook between thumb and finger, point down and whip around the shank going over towards yourself and under away from yourself.

This is a full turn and you need 6 full turns minimum. If you held the hook as described and look at it from the eyed end you are going counter clockwise around the shank. Then with the last turn coming off the opposite side of the shank to the point, go back through the eye on this side, so the tag end comes out on the point side. This is essential to the hook flipping point down in the mouth, to achieve the best hook hold in the bottom lip. Next tighten it up using a nail through the hair loop, and pulling on the tag end, don't use the hook to tighten it until you have done this as the hair will twist. Hey presto, one knotless knot. Now you just need to attach the other end to the barrel swivel and you're away. The bait on the hair is mainline's pineapple juice pop-up(bouyant)boilie, which you would need to put shot on the rig for but I use this rig for non pop-up boilies too. Also, other baits can be mounted on the hair such as sweetcorn. Pull it across your hand and watch the hook flip around and imagine digging in on the edge of the "carps lip".
