That's what a purpose made snubbber is for
Why does a clinch knot slip?
Because it’s just a loop holding bits of tag against the hook eye . Frequent back pressure that may open up the loop ever so slightly and BaM! Slippage
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
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 ..
very bulky knot
Depending on the application it is much stronger but bulkiness not more than the Palomar .. give it a go ;)
Cotton rots.
Correct. However this plastic raffia is made of polypropylene, a type of thermoplastic polymer … also serve as a super quick backup flasher solution …
An improved Clinch knot is OK in many situations. Not the greatest knot for tying braid to something though. Especially thinner braid
Thanks for your comment and for watching our videos!! You are absolutely correct !! Thinner braid I’d go for uni-uni … thanks again mate
Palomar way Much easier and stronger
That is kinda true but it can be challenging to tie correctly with very light fishing lines (typically under 10-pound test), as the knot may slip or fail if not meticulously secured. Additionally, the knot creates a relatively large profile compared to some alternatives, which might be a concern when a more streamlined presentation is desired, particularly in clear water or when targeting cautious fish.
Palomar is a better knot but not practical in all situations. Especially if I'm tying a line with a swivel to another line. Such as Carolina rigs
Stop cutting the tag end so short and you won’t have to worry about it slipping
That’s true ! We are demonstrating what happens with time even a longer tag it will slowly slip with time .. and the challenge is with longer tag it’s prone to tangling in weeds and in the case of finicky fishes they feel the sharp tags in turn spooking them … just my thoughts .. and thank you for your comment!
what's the name of this fine knot?
Still a mystery till this day :D it’s known as the Split Alberto Knot … thanks for watching our videos we have a playlist of all line connecting knots tutorial and tips do check ‘em out !
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
can this work for braided line?
Absolutely!!
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.
Nothing like the smell of burnt plastic to attract that Lunker. 😅
That’s an important point although generally small amount is released as gas in that quick tag burn. Remaining larger particulates do not spread in water however before finishing a quick wipe down with water should ease one’s mind :D
@@Fishingknotsfastor just tie a knot where you dont have to melt plastic
You know. I don't think you have to even melt a monofiliment line tag anyhow. The long and short of it is, does it break faster using a knot that holds on with a single strand of line. Does it break faster holding on under the wrap of this knot on the shaft of the hook? At least that's where my mind goes. 2 likes for this science video.
I'm subbing you, but I need to know. Scientifically
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 !!
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.
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
nonsense!
Thanks for the comment , do give it a try ;)
I've got no chance completing this
Why do you say that ;)
You're a 🤡... never ever have I had a normal Snell knot untie like this... Clearly you are cutting your tag way to far back and ain't tightening it enough... Btw, it's easy to pull your so called improved Snell undone if you cut the tag as small as you have with your conventual knot... I suggest anyone using this flops guides for knots and his knots go and find a better teacher for a start
💕Wow🤍🤍🤍🤍💜🤍🤍🤍🤍

Why do everyone put garlic in they fish bait
Pungent odour is said to attract fish’s attention as they seek for food and also masks any scent that may put them off
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.
Too wraps around the hook. The line breaks easy.
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Power snell or egg loop are 2 best snells for multiple reasons. Thank me later.
Thanks for your comment! for gapped eye hooks - absolutely ...
Can not subscribe to this channel??😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching ! ;)
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
Why the music
Because silence is awkward and I can't dance on camera. lol
Your second version is the original, traditional method. Your first version is the more recent uni knot version. It is not as good as traditional version because the tag end lays outside all of the wraps.
Thank you for your comment and for watching !
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.
Thanks for upload. When is the best time to go?
Thanks for watching !!! The best time for crabbing is from October to January, this is when the crabs are often largest and populations are at the peak after spawning, They come in through the entrance during the flood tide and best time to catch them is 1-2 hours after high tide, once the current in the channel dies down a bit. Use chicken carcass or necks … some swear by a few dashes of fish sauce …
Ive never made a snell either of these 2 ways.
Well, we can learn together then! Let's give it a shot!
Yes, the simpkest knots are always the best
Thank you
Remember all of you don't leave your lines in the water and don't litter.
Yes absolutely! Trash and discarded fishing lines can entangle and injure wildlife, disrupt ecosystems, and spoil the beauty of natural habitats. Responsible fishing practices help preserve aquatic environments for future generations to enjoy.
You need to pull on the tag end. That's a terrible Uni knot demo.
Thanks for your comment this is a new Uni knot the tag end is pulled to tighten the wraps in the beginning actually both the tag and standing line need to be pulled and to finish off the knot the standing line is pulled to cinch and secure you can’t just pull the tag, try it sometime :)
Never once had that happen to a cinch knot. Then again, I use flourocarbon, not weed wacker line.
Thanks for your comment , it’s more of risk mitigation . Love the “ weed whacker line “ terminology though ;)
@@Fishingknotsfast HAHA I am always in for a new knot. I seriously have not had a cinch knot slip like that ever though. Dig the swivel knot though. I'll give it a shot for fun.
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 !!
Sorry, ng
Thanks for watching nonetheless! Appreciate your input and feedback
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.
Очень надёжный и красивый узел 👍🔥

Thank you for your time and for watching
Fast doesn't mean strong!
Absolutely 👍 when we have a choice we go strong but when fish is in a frenzy we balance speed to get line in water 💧
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 ..
But how strong is it? I favor the palomer knot
Good point Palomar is stronger
Great video. Thanks for posting this!
Nice video, and great colour choice. What happens to the raffia string when it gets wet. Does it keep it's shape or go mushy. I really want to try this myself.
Thanks so much for your comments!! Really appreciate it. We made video to show you how it keeps its shape and even moves realistically you can see it here kzread.infos6o8hfb5SiU
good video, now I have to go back and check my snells. BTW what method of snell knots would you recommend for tying a pair of smaller #2 or #4 hooks in line facing opposite? I fish a lot for trout and I prefer the two hook set up and I want each hook facing away so I can get a bite regardless of which side they may swipe from. The problem I am having is trying to be consistent with keeping the two hook about a 1/4" apart. It seems 50% when I snug up the knot the hooks have slid further apart and I have to clip clip and start again. TIA
Here’s and example …if you use this method the hooks won’t move and stays in position where you want the two hooks to be at Prevent your hook from moving when tying a snell ! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqp8x9FtiavQoNI.html
Is this a good knot for fluorocarbon line for a swivel to lure trout fishing? Thanks
Yes it is recommended but not when your line is too heavy and stiff . Tornado HH knot is nearly 100 % of straight strength. Meaning the knot has the same tensile strength as the line.
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
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
