Trailing Loops

Use this technique to tie in perfect length trailing loops on your intruder flies.

Create a loop with the wire and pass it through the eye and just over the bend of the hook.

Place the hook and wire as shown and secure the wire evenly on both sides of the shank.

Finish securing the wire to the shank by wrapping to the eye return and doubling it back to the starting point.

Now you can easily change the hook.
