In your youtube search also look at the Hitena knot, a much cleaner lower profile kot affording you as much strength. It is a spliced hollow core. I would throw a single catspaw through the solid ring though as you do - it just seems like a less vulnerable connection to bft teeth
What works best for me is using hot water to shrink the tube, evenly. I put fresh water in mug, and then place it in the microwave for a couple of minutes, to heat the water. Place the assist hook with the shrink tube on it, into the hot water for 30 seconds. The process works better than a hair dryer, flame or heat gun.

Clean as! Thank you for sharing!!
Nice bro. Great tutorial! Same method for Jig assists I guess?
👍 would have a suggestion on shrink wrap size and supplier would you?
No CA glue needed?
Awesome bro.
I will be tying mine this way, much easier to guage the length of the chord. 👌🏽
Hamish what size split rings do you use to attach the assist to the lure?
Top notch ... Thanks!!!
Good stuff mate
Nice one!
Can’t you just used 200lb braid instead of Hollow Core line?
Show us your lures mate.
