Here is a link that was posted in a previous thread. The overhand knot is used at the end to finish off the top hook (near the head). After you wrap the top hook with 4-5 half hitches, take the dacron strands, and as one unit, loosley tie and overhand knot (make single loop and thread the end through once). Keep the knot as close to the hook as possible, but keep it slightly loose. Then seperate the two strands above the knot and pull away from each other to snug the knot down against the hook (pull hard). Apply some superglue and cut away excess strands.

Hope this helps - (k)not often can I find an opportunity to try to help here - too many knowledgable folks!
