I'll give a try at helping you with the bait loop. Here goes nothing....

1. Thread your pre-cut leader about 1 inch up the shank of your hook (pinch the leader and hook shank with one thumb/finger combo.
2. Make your first set of wraps around the shank (keeping them tight and continuing with the pinch). Most folks use 6-10 loops.
3. Pinch that whole mess with your free thumb/finger and thread the free end of your leader back out the eye of your hook. It's best to only push about an inch out at this time.
4. Carefully grab the same section of leader you made your original loops and make your second set of loops (5 or 6 is about right).
5. While still keeping the mess pinched, pull out the leader completely and snug it up.

You're done. Hope this helps. If you tie about 20 up, it should become 2nd nature.
