Practice practice practice!
I hook the hookworm to the shockcord on the corner of the tarp. Then I pull the line (Lawson reflective cord) tight. That tightens the shockcord and the guy line. Then I make the loop and slip the, what do you want to call it, the tail(?) of the hook worm into the loop rather than trying to make the loop around the tail. I make the loop really close to the tail. Since I'm using shockcord on my tarp corners I have to stretch it out pretty good because doing what I do there's a couple millimeters that shockcord shortens (but it is still plenty taut).
I hope that makes sense.
