Step 1

Put the hook in the vise.

Step 2

Slide the tubbing from the front. It might feel a little tight, but it will slide, just be patient.

Step 3

Once it’s on, you might have a liitle hanging of the front. Cut it to length and don’t let it go past the bend.

Step 4

Start the thread at the back behind the tubbing. Create a little thread dam.

Step 5

Start the thread at the back behind the tubbing. Create a little thread dam.

Step 6

Whip finish and glue it.
