At last someone showing a knot I have been using for, what? 50 years? Yes, the very first snell knot I learnt...
Thanks for watching our videos
Great video. Thanks for posting this!
It’s the best type of snell there’s a bit of a knack to tie it correctly but it is very strong!
I'm glad you showed the weaker way at the beginning as I had that same problem. I thought I was doing something wrong and just went back to my palomar knots that I know for sure how to tie well.
Thanks for the comment
That's the way I tie all my hooks and haven't had a knot failure in 74 years of fishing!
74 years ?
Do you still have the same hook then? Never had a snag or break off?
I found it difficult to tie this knot on smaller/shorter hooks. It also uses way more line than the regular snell. I've never had a regular snell unravel on me, so, until it does, I won't worry about it.
ya I tried this on a flipping hook with a keeper and found this hard to tie with the lack of space the keeper gives you
@@Noblitt5 Yep, totally can see how that can happen.
That would be tricky if using a flipping hook with a bait keeper .. u can use a regular snell knot between the bait-keeper and the eye.. but snell still increases hookup ratio
omg big thanks to you man i try do double hook with very close hooks only your way did work
thank you very much
Thanks for the comment ! Glad you liked the video. Do share how you rig it up or let us know what other knots or rig types we should feature on our channel !
People been using this knot probably over 50 yrs and you made it better a mazing
lol, i take it as a compliment
Neat looking knot. I use a uni knot on the shaft of the hook that has a bent eye so the line pulls straight. Just make five wraps and the line breaks before the knot.
thanks for that ... do subscribe and check out our other tutorials
Also If you have a long Tag end you can Gang your hooks using the same knot. Super neat.
Thanks so much for your feedback and for watching our videos !! Happy fishing
Just realised if you’re opposite hand when tying, you can flip the video and its still easy to follow 😂
cant take the music - its like fingernails down a blackboard
Sorry about that ! We can change it ;)
I just mute when I come across vids like these.
Thanks. I've had trouble snelling hooks using a uni knot with heavier monofilament. The knot loosens. Your method holds.
Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to comment . It is much appreciated! Please let us know if you have any knot related questions or what you wish to see more of on our channel! Tight lines
Try a teenie drop of superglue on the tag of a traditional snell. It dries in seconds and works great on heavy mono.
Very nice tutorial 👍🏽👍🏽
Glad you liked it
I don't use both technique, I use a slight variation of your first one, but tying direction from the shank to the loop. That's way more effective and easiest.
I use the same way that higherpurpose does and have never had a snell come apart in 50 years
Thanks as they say there are many ways to a snell :D generally they all are pretty good but it’s just that moment when you really don’t want it to fail with the prized catch on the end of the line . Check out our Snell video which shows the 6 different ways of snell as well .. thanks for watching !!
The Jump Rope snell solution is a pain. There are other Easier snells that do not present a problem.
That improved version is a classic knot known as the whipping knot. It’s a widely used knot in Europe.
It's also known as the Traditional Snell Knot.
THANK YOU.
You are welcome please subscribe and check out our other videos - we will drop another cool videos tonight!
I do the first know only i wrap from top down. Never had a problem
Thanks for the comment and for watching our videos! Yes a lot of cases it would be fine but through tests there are versions of the same knot that are shown to be more resistant to slippage given the circumstances.. tight lines !
Fair enough! It's a dull day if ya don't learn something. Tight lines back at ya! Cheers
That's a very interesting way to tie a snell. What I've done for years is use a tiny little drop of superglue on the tag.
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching our videos !! Yes super glue has been a long time approach to lock the knots but depending on the chemistry of the glue typically Cyanoacrylates they hold but being exothermic reactions it may weaken the line plus making the line less elastic and can break under sudden strain , most deteriorate in saltwater over time .. but if we change rigs often it wouldn’t matter
@Fishingknotsfast And all this time, I thought I had an original idea! 😆 Even though I've been fishing for forty years, I don't research much. Obviously. I use heavy mono leaders with large hooks for flats, and lately, I've ditched the glue for a small, heated screwdriver. I melt the tag to a nice molten ball and press it against the shank. You know how it is. Half the fun of fishing is experimenting. I always make a couple dozen rigs at a time, so it's not too inconvenient.
very similar to the egg loop snell we use round here.
thanks for the comment!

Makasih atas komentarnya!
Is this knot suitable for fluorocarbon?
Although designed around mono the knot which is a very old knot is perfect for FC ..the multiple wraps and structure distribute stress and increase friction really well, resulting in a strong connection! :)
The plain old simple wrap snell....Recommended by Chad Ferguson, Wisker Seekers Catfish guide, is just fine and does not fail. Its the least impressive of Snells and easiest to tie.
Thanks for the comment .. the quick and easy wrap snell is a tricky one .. it is not as secure.. but indeed it’s quite fast to tie ..
This has to be the most difficult way to snell a hook ever. Way easier ways to snell and much stronger
I've done it just fine in freezing temps when I can barely even feel my fingers 🤷
I think the first one its called an "easy snell" and the second one its the original snell, but you're right the easy snell its not that good
Thanks for watching our videos! and for the comments ....
Very nice
Thanks
I tied several different knots on 18lb fluorocarbon and tested them for strength. Your knot is the strongest, approximately 80% strength. How to explain this?
Thanks for sharing and for watching our videos .. what knots are you comparing specifically? There are a number of variables that impacts knot strength
@@Fishingknotsfast First of all, I was interested in comparing your knot with the traditional snell knot. It gave 60% strength. I also used uni knot snell and easy snell for comparison. The result was even worse.
Is it just me or did anyone else notice he did not pull the first snell tight against the eye like the improved snell? I tie my snells at home and use a pulling pin built into my bench to pull everything tight no matter what hook. I can see where the improved would be a darling to tie on a short treble. I'll stick to the way I know that works for me. Just my 2 cents.
Thank you for your comment and for sharing your technique! You’re right, in the video, we didn't pull the first Snell tight against the eye like the improved Snell. This was intentional to demonstrate the potential pitfalls and common mistakes anglers can make. Even if the first Snell is pulled tight initially, over time, similar failures can occur due to the rough edges of the hook eye, especially under the stress of fighting a large fish.
Our goal with this video was to illustrate these potential issues and to show why the improved Snell knot can be more reliable in the long run. It's great to hear that you have a method that works well for you, and using a pulling pin sounds like a very effective technique!
Thanks again for your input and for watching our video.
I've seen some guys use super glue on the knot.
That’s a good point indeed . Even though super glue or adhesives have been shown to reduce slippage in knots there are a few concerns . Such as long term chemical impact to the line polymers, glue that hardens stiff promotes cracking and nicks line … but ideally just test it and don’t reuse the rig too much is my advise … and most importantly don’t glue your fingers together !
👍
👏👏🎣🎣🎣
Thanks for stopping by
В первом случае ты просто неправильно завязал узел. Нужно было обматывать от ушка вниз и все бы получилось. Я пользуюсь первым (правильным) узлом всю жизнь, и никогда не было проблемм. А второй узел - это просто другой узел, который более сложно вязать, на мой взгляд.
Спасибо за ваш комментарий. Вы правильно говорите, что есть неправильный способ и лучший способ. Вы явно думали в правильном направлении :) Причина публикации этого заключается в том, что мы видели много людей, делающих это неправильно, поэтому решили поделиться. Но это не означает, что все делают это неправильно, но мы действительно ценим ваше мнение... Поделитесь с нами, если у вас есть какие-либо интересные советы!! Спасибо за посещение нашего канала, мой друг.
Neither one is correct . You should start wrapping your line from the top down .
Thanks for watching and for your feedback! Winding the line towards the eye of the fishing hook can create a slightly different knot structure. Some anglers prefer this method because they believe it provides better knot strength and security, particularly when using certain types of hooks or fishing techniques. However, the difference in performance between winding towards or away from the eye is generally minimal and subjective, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference I would say ..
Ive never made a snell either of these 2 ways.
Well, we can learn together then! Let's give it a shot!
Too wraps around the hook. The line breaks easy.
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
thật tiện dụng
cảm ơn vì nhận xét
It’s been my experience to NOT snell straight eye hooks UNLESS you snell it without running it through the eye. FWIW, My hookup ratio went way up when I started using the palomer and Uni knot with the straight eyes.
Why the music
Because silence is awkward and I can't dance on camera. lol
why you make it sooo harder omg ....
We made it in a step wise format to help make it easier for viewers to follow ;)
NOT THE WAY I SNELL MY HOOKS FOR WORM HARNESSES ON ERIE MY WAY IS EASIER NEVER FAILS!!
thanks for that ... feel free to share your method , or video...also do subscribe and check out our other tutorials
Power snell or egg loop are 2 best snells for multiple reasons. Thank me later.
Thanks for your comment! for gapped eye hooks - absolutely ...
You made the biggest mistake of all YOU DO NOT USE A STAGHT EYE HOOK. So get it right.
Thank you for your comment. Even though snell was develop for spade end hooks that are eyeless. These was popular in the olden days where many hooks does not have eyes or hole in it that you can pass a line through. These hooks mostly popular with flies for fly fishing . Most of today's hooks have eyes on them. However the snell is still very effective for such hooks and might be the only hooks you have in your tackle box. and if you have circle hooks and octopus hooks the snell is Perfect. Snell allows for better Hook Sets when used on an Octopus hook , circle hook as it turns into the lip of the fish . Without a big knot above the eye it prevents the rig from catching debris or weeds along the bottom of the water. However when fishing toothy fishes you need to be careful and perhaps use this 'INSURANCE' Knot for safety: ruclips.net/video/suwRsxB1G0E/видео.html
We use the snell with all hooks and quite honestly you only need 3 wraps. Been a commercial fisherman now for 30 plus years it's the only knot I use.
This knot is the most effective knot used worldwide by carp fishermen and catfish fishermen on straight eye hooks to angle the hook inward as it is shown here. Angling the hook inward the way this knot has been tied in the video allows the hook many times more chances to catch the lip of the fish, much the same way that a circle hook grabs as it is passing by the corner of a fish's mouth. This method using the straight hook with this snell knot even allows a hookup when a finicky fish picks up the bait and attempts to quickly spit the hook before the angler can react or even feel the pickup, catching the lip on the way out allowing many more possibilities for a hooked and landed fish than the typical, non-snelled knots that are more commonly used with straight eyed hooks, like the Palomar and clinch types. This video is a perfect illustration of the use of this snell on a straight eyed hook.I have had much better success using this exact snell tie on straight eyed hooks for bait fishing than either turned up or turned down eyes since I started to tie up this way. It has been working so well for me since I started using it that I will be incorporating this method when I go after Leopard Sharks this fall on the coast. This video was not a mistake. The poster got it exactly right.
I am 68yo and have been doing the 1st way ll my life & never had one fail. If you had pulled it tight, presto it would never fail.
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience,I do agree with you but there are also variables to line type , quality , diameter and so on hence the second method does reduces the risks significantly especially for beginners starting out .. losing a fish is really not a great feeling :) thanks again for watching !!
Wth… 😅
:)
The music is irritating. Please replace with commentary on what and why you're tying the way you are.
Appreciate your feedback ! On hindsight o do agree … we have improved our videos ! Please check it out
Sorry, ng
Thanks for watching nonetheless! Appreciate your input and feedback
Its a very week knot as it strangles its self
Good knot. But if you just wouldve pulled on the main line one more time and actually sintched the knot to the eye on the first one it wouldn't have come undone. You made it so it was easy to come undone.
Thanks for your feedback , the way it was tied is often done by beginners but side by side comparison the second method does reduce the risk significantly, through usage , slippage can happen by the nature of the line and wraps.
This is FAR more difficult than it should be.
Thanks for your comment , it was deliberately done so viewers can see how it’s tied once you get the hang of the concept it can be tied very quickly .
👍👍👍
Thank you for your time and for watching
And you r also doing it wrong.
thanks for pointing out, can you elaborate more why thanks!!
😂sorry you you lost me at counterclockwise
Watch it again…I already switched to this method, regards
Why are u watching since u know everything
👍
thanks for watchin!!
