Figure 93. Bonito hook, continuous lashing commencing with distal hole. a, commencement end (1) of double thread 32 inches long brought through distal hole (2) to near side and left sufficiently long to pass well over proximal shank groove (3) on near side of shank. b, long thread (4) brought up under shank, makes series of six simple turns (5) around shank (6), through distal hole (2), and over snood loop (7); direction of turns on near side, from below upward. c, with completion of sixth turn thread passes through distal hole to far side; back of shank turned toward craftsman; thread (4) appears on left side on shank (6) and turns across back will be from left to right; hackle (8) placed in position on lashing turns (5) already completed. d, hackle fixed by four oblique turns passing under one limb of hackle and over other; first turn (1) passed under left limb and over other; second turn (2), instead of alternating (fig. 91, c), follows above first turn (1), making a similar pair. e, third turn (3) alternated by passing over left limb of hackle and under right limb; fourth turn (4) follows above it, thus balancing first pair. f, fixation of hackle (8) completes distal lashing; thread (4) brought up on near side, passes through distal hole (2) to far side, brought back through proximal hole (9) to commence proximal lashing; thread slack to indicate its course, brought down on near side in proximal groove in which it crosses short commencing end (1) drawn obliquely across groove; direction of lashing turns on near side, from above down. g, six lashing turns (10) made around shank and through proximal hole, all of which cross short end (1); thread (4) appears through proximal hole (9) and is taken over distal lashing. h, thread looped over distal lashing (5) and brought forward under it. i, two more simple binding turns (11) taken around distal lashing, without half-hitches or overhand knots; thread (4) carried over to proximal lashing (5) where its end comes into opposition with short commencing end (1). j, ends of threads (1, 4) tied in reef knot above proximal lashing (5), lashing complete.
