It is normally finished by tying the working end around the standing part with a clove hitch, and less commonly with a cow hitch or a buntline hitch. The pipe hitch can also be finished by crossing the coils and the standing part and tying the working end in one or two half-hitches around the pipe – wrapping in the same direction as the original coils but on the opposite side of the standing part, described
Figure eight (angling) pattern to be executed. Short rods naturally create a shorter overall figure-eight pattern. They result in tighter-radius patterns, which are often difficult for larger muskies to follow. The longer rod increases the entire size of the figure eight, including widening the turns. Collectively, it becomes far easier for a large fish to follow the lure throughout the entire process. The long rod is also superior after the fish hits. Short rods are stiffer and less forgiving. Additional length helps to keep a very even pressure on the fish at all times, so it cannot break the line or shake the
