Thanks a million! I have been using a sliding second hook but it was pissing me off...no matter how tight it was snelled on, the second hook would sometimes slide down and ball up the baitfish... plus, I've lost big fish because the second hook was pulled down hard and cut the knot holding tail hook. I've retied everything by your method. It is much stronger and presents the bait naturally. From Vancouver Island.
I lost fishing time on two sliding snell rigs today as the knot loosened after a couple of catches and was no longer effective. Will give this a try next.
Thank you very much. Crystal clear description and videoing. Allow me to ask a clarification for the knot of the second hook: Initially you feed the line from the back of the hook (if I am correct) and then start wrapping. The final feed (pass through the hole) of the line goes again from the back of the hook or the opposite side?
I'll be trying this tomorrow morning. From what I'm seeing, the line passes the eye from the back... Maybe because of the angle the eye leans at, which is towards the back
Can you please make a vid where the top hook is tied first. I like to use leader to mainline via an FG when fishing for snapper around reefs, hence leading to a few snags along the way. The method in this vid will require a new FG to be tied every time a rig is lost which will be a pain. Cheers for the vid
Since this rig eats up quite a bit of leader (100cm) it would be better to tie up a few of these and then tie them on to your leader with a double uni unless you're using a very long leader.
Hi Greg. Great detail on how to tie thanks for sharing. I use the snell rig a lot but tie it directly to the wind on to eliminate the swivel in your rig for floating baits down. I have only ever down max 8 wraps around hook shank, will try your recommendations.
Interesting, I always snell both hooks, I find it an advantage when fishing strip baits or whole squid, but I can see the point of your way with liveys Nice little tip video though 🙂
This kind of rig seems good with a sliding barrel weight on your main line, then a bead is put on before you tie the main line to a swivel. Then you tie the leader onto the other end of the swivel. essentially a fish finder rig.
Hey mate I've explored every possible avenue and come up empty handed. Also passed the footage on to an experienced trawlerman and he doesn't believe its a trawler.
Pretty good; however, this rig isn't adjustable. There's a sliding rig, where the front hook can slide, making it easy to adjust for different bait sizes.
this is what i use when bait fishing always, only downside is if the fish has a chance to break the bottom hook if it has teeth. But that's fishing for you
yes that is a downfall and it pays to regularly check the line has no nicks or cuts in between fish. This is where ganged hooks comes into its own but is less natural.
I missed a good catch yesterday morning because I didn’t check my line by the hook after catching a small mouth bass! The line broke by the hook! I switched to braided line for the leader!
Snell knots were made for eyeless hooks, on modern hooks where the folded eye isnt smoothed off and has sharp edges, snelling a hook cuts the line, ive tested this repeatedly using different brand hooks and line. Its a bad knot. And if for any reason the line gets damaged the knot falls apart
Hello, just an FYI, your 1st knot is not a Uni Knot. It is an Improved Clinch or a Trilene Knot. 12-15 wraps seems like way too much overkill. 7 or 8 should be fine to me. And your snelled knot is called a Uni Snelled Knot. Just so you know. 😊😊😊
One thing I don't like with this snell is that the line ends up sitting over the twirls. I prefer to use a tiny straw to wrap the twirls around and pass the main line back under through tthe straw. This is complete bullet proof
It works the same way as a regular snell knot so it doesn't really matter either way. I have used both the traditional snell knot and this knotless snell as it's called and I haven't seen any difference in performance. Other than the fact that the knotless snell seems to be stronger due to the fact that there are no pinch points in the knotless snell.
Kudos for shooting this so beautifully - simple but effective - Black background , correct magnification . thanks
Really easy to understand thanks a lot mate 💯
Great vid Greg, very well explained mate. Should help plenty of people!
Thanks heaps Will much appreciated mate.
Well presented, easy to understand and not noise to distract. A great information session.
thank you I'm glad you like it. Cheers
I'll never forget this hook now cheers mate
I use this method for fly tying articulated streamers . Simple and fast . Thanks for sharing.
awesome mate. Cheers
You helped me do my first Snell, owe ya a carton 🤙
Good stuff Rossco well done. Cheers mate

You tie the rig and attach a swivel between it and the main line with the sinker above the swivel. No new leader required. cheers
That works for me, yet my hookup rate is a lot different to yours... Thanks for sharing
hahaha thanks Wags.
To catch half and one kg sea bream what type hooks are better circle semi circle or what type ?
depends on your style of fishing. Circle hooks work well but you need to learn not to strike but rather slowly apply pressure to sink the hook.
Is there any tutorial on how to tie weight few inches up with this rig?
Made it look easy

Cheers mate. Yep using a wind on is a great way of doing mate.
Are strong versus big fish?
How you made knot for first hook

Nice little tip video though 🙂
thanks mate
do i need to use a sinker for this type of set up? i usually try to cast out as far as possible at beaches

Nicely demonstrated Greg 👌 how's that flatty thumb though all raspt up 😂
Thanks mate appreciate it. haha yep it's copped a hiding lol.
nice bro👍
Cheers mate
I've seen this as a bait up for fresh water trout in the streams. A small minnow added to two small hooks rigged this way.
Thats to correct for me !
I’ve never had an issue wrapping either way and only use 7 wraps

Do you know if theres any videos on how to do it?

Was wondering why you didnt use a snell on the bottom hook
what is the hook brand in this video please
Mustad big gun hooks

a hook on a hair (carp thing) tbh i like a gang hook for dead baiting, also very easy. open eye, pass hook through, close eye.

❤❤for me is the same for crack your line....
I prefer the top hook be sliding…by creating a snell with a separate line. That way you can adjust as needed.
Well Done
Thank you.

The nail knot.
The Easy Snell is weak in light line.
Bro… what’s up with your thumbs? They be loooking like the close up of the hands in SpongeBob! 😂
This is not a proper snell knot. If it were done correctly there wouldn’t be line crossing over the wraps.
It works the same way as a regular snell knot so it doesn't really matter either way. I have used both the traditional snell knot and this knotless snell as it's called and I haven't seen any difference in performance. Other than the fact that the knotless snell seems to be stronger due to the fact that there are no pinch points in the knotless snell.
In light line it's weak.
The knot slides on the hook and the eye gap cuts the knot.
You need a nail knot in light line.
Ol d mates hit his thumbs with hammer way to many times
No good if your leader is tied on first, like 99% of decent fishermen would
couldn't you use a uni knot on the top hook and just leave a long tag line to use on bottom hook?
Wrong
