I use something like that if I need to replace a hook on an attached leader . i think my way is much easier..(or at least for me in the light of a headlamp) I form a loop 1st push that thru the front eye then lay the loop on the shank and wrap my tag around the shank and the loop from the top down 5 -6 times then pass the tag end thru the loop and tighten once tighten the tag end should be pointed down the shaft ..... they need to be cinched down good or they will uncoil . I do snell the regular way if I am making leaders beforehand
