Fishing Hook Knot Tying Illustration
How to Snell a Fishing Hook
Fishing Hook Knot Tying - strongest fishing knots
Snelling is a very simple method of fishing hook knot tying and the snell knot is the strongest of all saltwater fishing hook knots.
Tying fishing hooks
First pass the trace through the eye of the hook from the front of the hook. Only pass it through about half an inch.
Hold the shank of the hook and the half inch tab end and wrap the trace around both the shank of the hook and the tab end 7 or 8 turns.
Pass the trace back down through the eye of the hook from the back of the hook.
Pull the trace tight while holding the hook to set the snell.
There should be very little or no tag end protruding when the knot is set.

Hi guys as described above the "Snell" knot , i find this nice & easy to tie , a bit easier than the uni knot i have been using
Anyone use this ?
Seems a bit strange just tied around the shank rather than the eye of the hook ?
