Thanks, I have that issue, and I am also a lefty, (smart, intelligent, good looking, "hostile left hander",) it just seems that there should be an easier way to tie on the loop (maybe stretch it, pierce the bottom 1\4 of it with the hook, move it to the front, and put it on before you tie the rest of the stuff on). I was introduced to Craigs system in a D.R.I.F.T. meeting a few years ago. What do you think Craig???
