Dave’s Sinker Loop is another alternative to the array of loop knots that anglers use for attaching a sinker to a line or leader. This one is strong and can be tied in most leader and line materials, but it has no advantage over other knots in its group. It may be easier for some to tie and remember so it is worth considering.

Step 1: Dave’s Sinker Loop is begun by doubling the line or leader back to form a bight.

Step 2: Bring the bight, which is now a working loop, around and up perpendicular to the tag end and standing part which are parallel to each other. This forms a second loop.

Step 3: Bend the first loop over and down behind the standing part and tag end so that it extends well beyond the second loop.

Step 4: Pass the first loop through the second loop.

Step 5: Pinch the tag end and the standing part ahead of the forming knot and pull the first loop completely through the second loop until it is tight. Trim off the tag end, leaving and eighth-inch long tag.
