Don't think of it as being doubled up. Think of the loop as being the end of your line. Put the line (loop) through the hook eye, then proceed with the knot wraps. Pull tight. And yes you can trim the excess loop...just don't trim it too short. Allow for some tightening of the knot. Leave a 1/2" pigtail to be safe or don't even trim it. It will be hidden inside the sluggo anyways.
