Easy Way To Snell A Hook - How To Tie A Hook To Fishing Line.

Fishing knot video tutorial. Learn how to tie a snell knot. Easy step by step instructions for tying a snell knot in this simple guide.

***Tip Jar***

The snell knot was originally invented in Great Britain for eyeless hooks. It keeps the fishing line aligned with the shank of the fishing hook to preserve strength. It should be tied on hooks with a bent eye so that the line can exit straight without a kink. It is an important knot in multiple hook rigs.

Advantages:
Very strong attachment to hook retaining 95% plus line strength when tied well. No knot sits on the eye of the hook. Can be tied on eyeless hooks which is handy in a survival situation.

This should deserve a like more than twice. Short, straight to the point and no talking for 10 minutes.

I’m a boy mom (single parent) who didn’t grow up with a father. I finally successfully learned enough to take my twin boys (almost 6 years old) fishing - they caught several blue gill. I’m trying to learn more because these boys love to fish!

I tried this knot earlier but I was struggling. I’m going to practice indoors before fishing next time. I’ve just been tying a quadruple knot - I’ve only lost a couple of hooks so far 😅 Thank you for this video 😊

Lost my dad to a massive heart attack 12 years ago and wish I had paid more attention to his fishing lessons. Thank you for this. Taking my son fishing today! We will both be learning/relearning some things.

I like how people will even thumbs down a fishing knot. Jesus.

nice video simple and effective. million thumbs up for using a thick rope so it can be seen better.

My father passed away on March 11th 2024. I'm his only daughter (18 years old) and miss going fishing with him like I used to do as a child. To keep his legacy alive, I wish to learn the things he knew and didn't get to teach me. Tying a fishing hook is one of them, thank you for this 😊🙏🏽

[elliecarrillo]

Thank you. Your tutorials are really helping this single mom look really cool to her young son when we go camping and fishing and I actually now know which knot to use and how to tie it. 🙌🏼👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Hands down best demo of snelling I've seen. None of the twisting the wrist, line etc. Thank you Whyknot

Needed a good way to tie a hook, this was the 1st video to pop up and I see why. Nothing crazy, easy to tie and simple, straightforward explanation. Great video, thanks for posting.

[ElijahCote]

this was so helpful, no bad camera position just up close and straight to the point. Thanks!

[stephenrichards]

I use this method for splicing metal eyes on the end of rope as well as the hooks. I was taught it at school, 60 years ago. It's a very secure tie.

[CorruptLeviathan]

Thanks, worked first try. Learned this in scouts and got so caught up in growing up and adult life I forgot along the way

[REDWhiteblue-uhzp]

Thank you, mate. Easiest way, best demonstration, I was able to duplicate first try..thank you

[JackcatsandbassYT]

Nice and straight to the point. Before i only knew how to snell with a pre-cut section of leader but now I can tie it with a fully intact line!

[inohaveshirt]

Every single video on YouTube should be just as fast as this guy

[OSRS_Myers_I]

Thank you very much. My dad never had the chance to teach me, now I can teach my son.

[jesusdunksonyou]

Shout out to everyone here without a dad 😅

I love fishing but i never learned to properly tie a fishing knot. i would always just loop it so much and the just be like "well that seems fine enough!?!" thank you for posting this ^--^
