Locked Half Blood Knot
Step by Step.

Thread the eye of your hook or swivel and twist the tag and main line together.
	Complete three to six twists and thread the tag back through the first twist. The heavier the line, the less twists you should use.
Pull the line so that the knot begins to form. Do not pull it up thigh yet or you will have an unlocked half blood which may slip should you be tying new line to a shiny metal surface.
	To lock the knot, thread the tag through the open loop which has formed at the top of the knot.
Pull the knot up firmly and the result should be something like this. Should a loop form within the knot, simply pull on the tag until it disappears.
