Tip
Tip: When looping wire for a trailer hook, keep both strands side by side, not crossed, so the hook does not twist while fishing
How to do it: Loop trailer wire with strands parallel, not crossed
Mistake it fixes: Crossing trailer wire strands
Why it works: Crossed strands twist the hook during fishing, changing its orientation. Parallel strands keep it straight.
When it matters most: Steelhead fly tying, trailer hooks
