Do exactly as Goldeneye's diagram shows.  And, a little added tip: do more wraps to move the knot further up the shank (away from the eye).  This added area creates more line holding your eggs, which allows them to last a little longer.

It looks like the egg loop can be "adjusted" alot more that the snell knot.  You can adjust the number or wraps so it can place your bait either closer to the top or farther away.

Okay  I always just used the snell knot and slid the knot up the shaft to put bait on it but now I see a bumper knot  is more usefull.
