or kind of make a loop, only squeeze it together into a point. Then push the doubled up loop, or point, thru the eye. Pull out a lot of line, still doubled up and then open the loop and drop the lure thru it and pull it tight.

Easiest knot to tie and very fast. Never had that knot slip off. Hard to believe it is so easy.
Don't know the name of it. Got a free little book on knots at Bass Pro or Cabela's, can't remember which, that showed how to do it.
