How to Tie a Snell Knot - 2 Methods & When I Use Them

January 31, 2019: Snell knots have become my go to knot when catfishing. They're strong & quite easy to tie.
In this video I will show you the two methods I use to tie a snell knot. I use the first method when I'm doing the initial setup of my rig and have access to both ends of the leader line. The second method shows how to tie a Snell when you only have access to one end of the leader line.

    They just don't look like anything but a weak knot that would come apart in the conditions I'd put it in. A really stout snell type knot, there's a little more to it than a cheap version of a uni knot. Then again, thank you for taking the time and trouble for this. Been using snells a little bit, but over a period of over fifty years, for bass, catfish, whatever. Thank you again though.

    That knot will handle anything you'd ever want to throw at it, but go with what you're comfortable with.

    Really good video. When I tie them they act like they won't bite down, if you push the line back down the shank it will unravel. Maybe normal?

    If you pull them tight and hold them tight immediately after tying them, you can get the line to hold a memory. When I pre-tie leaders I usually Attach a sinker To the Swivel And Let it hang For a little while before I put Leaders away

    man ive seen like 5 ways to make a snell so far lol, but your second knot makes the most practical sense for all intended purposes but i prefer the uni snell knot ,easier to make the wraps with that one and you can always make an over hand knot on the tag end as close as possible to the main knot for extra added non slip assurance

    @@dalesteele4239 the trigger affect wont be there,by running the string from the front it has your hook at an angle that will catch the fish,drag your hook across your hand after tying your hook both ways ,running it through from the back it will not snag your skin but running it through from the front it will cause your hook to try to hook your skin like in a fish mouth .....hope this helped with your question

    Never seen the second one. Thanks for the lesson I'll definitely start using the 2nd knot. I need some of those hooks. What size is it and where can I get me some.

    That hook is a 24/0 circle hook. I bought it on ebay for about $10. I bought it to help demonstrate knot tying, but I've found myself tempted to see if I can catch a fish on it.

    I use the 2nd method and don't trust the first one, it unravelled on me a couple times, maybe i did it wrong but can't be.

    Это жесткое крепление крючка. Мне больше нравится крепление крючка на петле. Рыба только начинает засасывать наживку и она "залетает" беспрепятственно в рот рыбе. Посмотрите "узел Куликова" «Узел Куликова для привязывания рыболовных крючков и поводков. Опыт Куликова.» kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGSB0s2akrfRYpc.html
