Used to create a long double loop of line required by sea anglers. This has the advantage of being stronger. This can also be performed by the Bimini twist but the Spider Hitch is a much simpler and almost as effective a knot. The double may be tied by means of Hitch with lines.

Double over the end of your line to the desired length.

|
Make a smaller loop at the base of the bigger one at the point where you want the knot to be.
|
|
|
|
Firmly hold this loop with thumb and forefinger. Allow the thumb to extend above the finger sufficiently so you can wind the line around it in the next step.
|
|
Wind the doubled line around the thumb and the loop 5 times.
|
|
|
|
Pass the rest of the long loop through the small loop and pull gently to unwind the turns off the thumb.
|
|
Draw the knot down slowly and lubricate it before pulling tight.
