Great technique. May be difficult to do solo, though. I guess one
could secure the line around your feet in place of an extra set
of hands.

Thanks for posting this technique, Jim.

I really think the down and forward pressure is the key and that if necessary you could grasp the hook with your pliers and yank or loop the line around your one hand. Seems much less painful than pushing the hook through then backing it back out.
