    I love that type of knot. In stead of pinching the loop to put through the eye, you can insert the line end (no loop) then take the line end again and feed it back through the eye forming the loop. To me its easier than trying to stuff the pinched loop through the eye.

  • @pakde8002
    @pakde8002 2 года назад +8

    As someone else mentioned there are several ways to tie a snelled hook. If I'm at home on a rainy day I'll snell some hooks (usually Japanese style spade hooks) with my version of the nail knot method using a length of small diameter plastic tube that can be had from a coffee stirring stick or cleaning swab (Q-tip in the States). Simply lay the tag end and the tube on the shank of the hook with a generous length of tag, the wrap from the bottom to the top. When you have enough wraps you insert the tag through the top of the tube until it comes out the bottom. Then pinching the wraps you pull the tube out from the bottom and then pull both ends of the line. In my opinion this is the best version of a snelled hook but obviously a bit cumbersome to do fishing out in the elements.

    I make dog leashes from climbing rope. I use monofilament to sew loops both as the handle and to attach the clip. I usually sew with at least two separate sections of thread. After that I cover the sewn area with 1.0 to 1.5mm woven accessory rope of the same design using the technique shown here. I cremated the leash with my last dog, still in excellent condition after over 11 years of daily use.

    Nice knot. I use the basic fishermans knot. It's easier to tie when out fishing and swapping hooks. Never had a problem. I might try this new knot since I heard it pulls the hook at a different angle, which increases hook probability.

    already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.

      @@Makflies As a retired outdoor writer, who specialized in fishing the Great Lakes, I've watched so many knot tying tutorials where the tag end does not get tightened, and is then clipped way too short. This is the most important when it comes to this type of knot. I use a needle nose exactly like you did and I wish other videos would show how important that last step is. It's one of the reasons why people will try the knot and wonder why it isn't very reliable. Also, when using thinner braided line (40 lb and lighter), it helps to tie an overhand knot on the tag end and slide it up tight to the knot before cinching the tag end tight and clipping the tag end just behind the overhand knot. With braid you don't see the tiny overhand knot (40 lb braid is as thin as 8 lb mono), but it's good insurance against the tag end slipping through. Do this when tying a back-to-back uni using braid. Thanks again! The knot is the business end of the whole show, so do it right.

    First saw this demonstrated at a trade show in Holland about 20 years ago, and there were two versions. This was the first and best no knot method, the second had the return down the side of the turns and looked ugly and untidy. I believe the guy who was doing the demonstration was called, Herman the German. Very secure knot and you need no other for your hooks.

    @warpedweirdo Год назад

    This is a great presentation of an excellent way to snell a hook, the best tutorial I've encountered on the subject to date. Good job!
    But, FYI, a snell is NOT the "strongest fishing knot" for attaching a hook to a line - especially not with the hook you utilized in your demonstration. The point of failure in the snell you tied in the video, under heavy pressure, will very likely be in the main line slightly above the point at which it enters the first coil. The wire of the hook in this area is not perfectly smooth and round, and it damages the line under heavy tension. This doesn't mean a snell is worthless, or even sub-optimal. Snells are very useful, and some people find them easier to properly and consistently tie than other knots. The snell's performance is consistently good across every type of monofilament I tested it on, unlike all the other common knots I've tested. Take the double-Uni knot, also known as the Fish-N-Fool knot, for example. This knot tested very strong in Maxima Ultragreen 3lb, Maxima Ultragreen 8lb, Maxima Ultragreen 12lb, Izorline XXX 4lb, Izorline XXX 6lb, Izorline 10lb, Ande Premium 8lb, Ande Premium 15lb, Ande Premium 20lb, and Izorline First String 20lb; but, in Izorline XXX 30lb, the knot is abysmally weak, to the point it shouldn't be used. The snell, on the other hand, has consistently good performance across all lines tested, is easier to tie without damaging the line, and is much easier to tie consistently well.

    You can't always put a double thickness through the eye (but usually you can, as you use lighter line with smaller hooks/flies), and you get the same strength just tying the same knot without doubling. Dad taught me that knot when I was 8. With that, and a figure-8 loop a few inches from the hook, you have snelled hooks just as good as store-bought.

    If you spit on the knot before you tighten it, you will lubricate the knot, leading to reduced friction and consequent heat generation that really weakens monofilament line.

    Hi Mak! You have a lot of knot - sense ;o) ha ha. I guess that's a snell, known for it's strong straight line of pull hook sets. I've had difficulty tying that knot out of hand. I guess it'd be easier for me done in a vise like you illustrated. But I can't recall seeing it tied on a straight eye hook, only down eye hooks like the Eagle Claw snelled bait hooks I use to buy before I started finesse fishing and tying my own with lighter line on straight eye hooks with a clinch knot. So I googled snell knot and a video by Rapala showed a pro angler tie the knot on a straight eye hook. He said the main line coming out the bottom of the hook eye, where the hook point is, causes the hook point to lever up for sure hook set every time. I wondered if you noticed this in your fishing? Sorry for the length of this but I love the mechanics of fishing and respect your opinion. But sometimes I just say "heck just go fish", lol ;o) Thanks Mak, all the best my friend!

    with only 3-4 turns around the hood are still strong enough, I have never failed with this since I was a boy, when the fish hooked with this knot only 2 options: landed, or the line broke. The hook never slipped out.
