1. Fold over the end of the line to make a double line, then tie a single overhand knot.
2. Pass the loop through the hole in the overhand knot one more time.

The Surgeon's Loop is essentially a Double Overhand Knot. It can be tied quickly and easily in the end of a line. It is often used to make a “Loop to Loop” connection in the same way that two elastic bands can be hooked into each other.
Snell Knot:
1. Pass the end of the line through the eye of the hook twice, creating a loop that hangs alongside the hook.
2. Wrap the loop around the hook, forming tight coils, 5 to 10 times.
3. Holding the coils in place with one finger, pull the line up until the loop is snug under the coils.
The snell knot is a hitch knot used to attach an eyed fishing hook to fishing line. Hooks tied with a snell knot provide an even, straight-line pull to the fish. It passes through the eye of the hook, but primarily attaches to the shaft.
