"Dead minnow" on the sand

Step 1- Insert your fly line into a piece of shrink tube af approx. 6-8 cm (2-3 inches).

Step 2 - Form a loop on your fly line.

Step 3 - Insert the tip of the fly line into the shrink tube.

$Step 4 - Stop the tip approx. 1-2 cm (1/2 inch) from the edge of the shrink tube. This is important to make sure you don\'t hit the fly line when heating. - Stop the tip approx. 1-2 cm (1/2 inch) from the edge of the shrink tube.

$Step 5 - Carefully Apply heat to the shrink tube. Use a lighter og a candle. Apply the heat i short intervals. The coating of the fly line will melt and merge. Repeat this until all the fly line connection is smootly merged. Don\'t apply too much hea - Carefully Apply heat to the shrink tube. Use a lighter og a candle. Apply the heat i short intervals. The coating of the fly line will melt and merge. Repeat this until all the fly line connection is smootly merged. Don\'t apply too much heat. It will damage the core of the fly line and you will have to start over.$

Step 5 - Carefully Apply heat to the shrink tube

Step 6 - Wait for the coating of the fly line to cool a bit down. Then you can remove the used shrink tube carefully. The shrink tube is best removed while it is still a little warm.

Step 7 - Congratulation - You have completed your first loop

Step 8 - Apply a little heat to your loop (only a few seconds to not damage the core).

Step 9 - Remove the warm coating from the core.

Step - 10 put the loop inside a piece of shrink tube.

Step 11 - Stop 2-3 cm (1 inch) from the edge og the shrink tubes.

Step 12 - Heat the coating in the point where it turns into loop. Be careful, not to apply too much heat to the core. It is very sensitive to heat.

Step 13 - While the coating is still hot, pull carefully in the shrink tube. Pull approx 0,5 cm (1/4 inch) this will smoothen the transision to the loop.

Step 14 - Keep the shrink tube in the pulled position until you are sure the coating is no longer liquid.

Step 15 - Remove the shrink tube.

Step 16 - You now have a really nice loop on your fly line ;-) It works even better if you reduce the thickness by removing some of the coating on the fly line, at the point where it is merged, before step 1.
