12 SALMON AND TROUT. 
The only correct mode of attaching salmon and grilse hooks 
with re-turned eyes, as well as the double hooks—in both of 
which the eye is made extra large for the purpose—is by the 
‘in-and-out’ fastening, secured with a slip knot, double or 
single, here referred to ‘as the ‘slip-knot’ attachment. 
SINGLE SLIP-KNOT ATTACHMENT. 
Although a ‘single slip’ knot is all that will usually be 
found actually necessary, especially with the smaller-sized grilse 
hooks, yet even in this case—and still more in that of the 
DOUBLE SLIP-KNOT ATTACHMENT. 
(Shown, unfinished, on old model of turn-down eyed hook, bare.) 
larger-sized salmon hooks--a ‘double,’ instead of a ‘single,’ 
slip knot makes ‘assurance doubly sure.’ Indeed, I myself 
almost invariably use the double slip knot, and recommend its 
adoption for all hooks of a size too large, or with eyes too large 
for the ‘Jam Knot? attachment (hereinafter described) —and for 
all hooks with ‘ re-turned’ eyes. The ‘double slip’ (figured in 
the last cut) makes, when artistically tied on a large hook, 
a fastening quite as neac as, if not, indeed, actually reater 
than, the single slip ; and is in many ways preferable. 
The following verbal instructions may perhaps assist the 
tyro, in attaching his casting line to a turn-down eyed salmon 
hook for the first time.
