Figure 97. Bonito hook, complicated snood-head lashing: a-c, side views; d, top view. a, short end (4) fixed on near side of shank head (1) by overlapping turns (5) through hole (3) and over snood (2); in this hook end laid on snood; thread (6) passes through hole from near side. b, five simple turns made and next turn (7), coming up from hole on far side, makes two half-hitches (8) around snood on right of lashing (5); half-hitches drawn taut close to previous turns over snood and thread (6) c…

Figure 97. Bonito hook, complicated snood-head lashing: a-c, side views; d, top view. a, short end (4) fixed on near side of shank head (1) by overlapping turns (5) through hole (3) and over snood (2); in this hook end laid on snood; thread (6) passes through hole from near side. b, five simple turns made and next turn (7), coming up from hole on far side, makes two half-hitches (8) around snood on right of lashing (5); half-hitches drawn taut close to previous turns over snood and thread (6) completes turn by passing through hole from near side; two simple turns made and next two turns with two half-hitches around snood; seven more simple turns. c, three circumferential turns (9) made around lashing below snood but in this hook last ascending turn from far side brought over snood on left of lashing, passed back under it, and crossed horizontally over far lashing thus changing direction of circumferential turns from right to left on near side; after last circumferential turn, two half-hitches (16) made around snood on right of lashing (5); figure-of-eight turn on snood with one loop (11) to left of lashing, other loop (12) to right, and crossing in middle line above snood. d, two more figure-of-eight turns (13) made, each to right of preceding one, crossings thus form neat pattern on top of snood; thread continued with seizing turns (14) around snood on right and end (6) fixed under two turns.
