How to Tie a Fly Lure
- 1). Cut a 3-foot length of flying fishing line. You can use dental floss, if you are only practicing.
- 2). Slip the end of the line through the prefabricated hole in the bottom of the lure until 6 inches hangs out the other side.
- 3). Tie a slip knot that makes a 3-inch loop at one end of the line. Fold the 6-nch section down and back toward the rest of the line. Form a loop with that 6-inch end. Wrap the end of the line around the long strip of line and the underside of the loop. Tuck the end of the line down through the loop and pull firmly to close the slip knot off to a size of 4 inches.
- 4). Tuck a lure head into the 4-inch slip knot hole. Align the string with the prefabricated divot around the bottom of the lure.
- 5). Insert a pinch of synthetic hair into the 4-inch loop. Adjust the hair so 2 inches stick out both above and below the lure. Pull the slip knot tight.
- 6). Trim the synthetic hair as you see fit to finish constructing your lure.
