To close the knot properly, I like to dab a bit of Chapstick on the winds and nothing beats a good set of pliers to pull first the tag and main line a bit, then the hook and main line then back to the tag and main line again. (Hint: If it appears that the loop may be a little too large, pull harder on the tag end to decrease the loop size. If the loop seems to small, pull harder on the main line when closing.)
Again, the key to this knot in 30 Lb line and greater is a good set of pliers.
Hope this helps,
