One can throw an extra half hitch around the hook before putting strain on the line.

As I recall on the Blackwall you can throw a hitch around the point of the hook after running the hitch through the bend of the hook too.

Take note............NOT to used for human life. And once your deer is up and the line goes slack they're easy to loosen. Very easy.


The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
