How to tie a pop-up to a hook ring swivel

I show you a nice, simple way to attach your pop-up

It is very important that you tie your pop-up on securely, so that it doesn’t come off on the cast. There are a number of ways to do this, so below is a step by step guide on how to do it using dental floss, a baiting needle and a lighter.

 

  1. Strip off your length of floss and thread the tag end through the swivel.
  2. Slide your baiting needle through the pop-up.
  3. Now place the floss into the needle and slide the pop-up on.
  4. Push the pop-up down onto swivel.
  5. Trim the tag ends.
  6. Blob with a lighter and you’re ready to go.

It is very important that you tie your pop-up on securely, so that it doesn't come off on the cast.
