To tie a sinker to a fishing line, follow these steps:
1. Start by threading the fishing line through the sinker's hole.
2. Make a loop in the line and pass it through the hole again, creating a double loop around the sinker.
3. Hold the sinker in place and tie an overhand knot with the double loop.
4. Pull the knot tight, ensuring it is secure.
5. Trim any excess line, leaving a small tag end.
6. Test the knot's strength by pulling on the line to ensure it holds firmly.
7. Attach the fishing line to the reel and you're ready to go fishing!
Remember, a properly tied knot is crucial for preventing the sinker from slipping off and ensuring a successful fishing experience.
