[QUOTE=bigfishtale]

You basically "pinch" or fold the line of the Surgeon's Loop about 3" above the sinker:

This now formed loop goes inside the loop of your presnelled hook or rig:

Now run hook(s) through the pinched loop and pull snug while still holding on:

Take sinker while holding on to the loop and make an overhand knot around it with sinker&Surgeon's loop:
[QUOTE]
I do something similar, but instead of forming the loop, attaching the rig, and then the overhand knot, I prefer to: tie a dropper, really another surgeon's loop above the sinker and then attach the pre-tied rig to that. Once I have two hooks and a sinker on the line, I tend to get stuck when I do the final overhand knot. Yours is almost a BMH rig with a snafu attached instead of a single hook.
