Supplies needed Wind-on leader and snap swivel. A popular technique used on the pro circuit to secure a snap swivel to a wind-on leader with a crimp is a crimped clover hitch. The theory behind this connection is it creates a stronger connection versus a standard loop and crimp.

To begin, place your crimp on leader then run through swivel.

Next, run tag end behind main leader
