An overhand loop is formed in the rope, the working end is passed back through that loop, behind the standing part of the rope, back through the loop and pulled tight. The working end (bight) forms a third loop, often

Other techniques when performing a figure eight include a speed burst, where lure speed is increased dramatically, and dead-sticking, where the lure is completely stopped in the water (not good with bladed baits). A long rod is superior for the figure-eight technique; it allows a bigger and deeper figure-8
