Tip
Tip: Thread wire through the shank eye again to double-secure it
How to do it: Pass wire through the shank eye a second time to double-secure a stinger loop
Mistake it fixes: Securing a stinger loop with a single wire pass
Why it works: Double-securing through the eye prevents loop failure under fish strikes.
When it matters most: Stinger hooks, tying
