Easy one was easy, uni took me a few minutes to figure out haha. Thank you sir for breaking the snell knot down!

[oscargonzalez]

Dude, u are doing this so quik can follow. So for that I giv u 1 star

[robertmceuen]

Great video Dieter. Easy to see what you are doing. There are a couple other smells that are very easy too. I use one of those other snells(don't know what its called) that you could show. Wouldn't make your video more than 4 minutes either. Thanks.

For the past couple of weeks I've gone down a Snell knot rabbit hole. I prefer to use braid with palomars (even for my leaders) and have been trying to find solid proof that a snell knot and mono will produce better hook up ratios and whether I should consider changing. Man, the theories are ALL OVER the place. Then you factor in eyes that are bent or straight and welded or not and hook points that are offset or not and then actions of rods too. It's crazy. :)

[joebuck]

I like that first one. I’ve always used the second but, like you said, I feel nervous about it. Great video Dieter.

[jonathonmiller]

That first knot the exact one I use, never had a problem tying or coming loose. I usually use 20-50lb Ande for a leader.

[jeffreyneely]

Thanks for the information on these. Great video...

[mikeedwards]

That was great Dieter thanks for sharing

[stevencochran]

I always called it the no knot snell rather than easy I’ve never had it come loose used it for yrs I can also stop knot from backing off by adding a egg loop to the no knot and if u use chicken or chicken livers the egg loop can hold it on ! Great demo !!! Waiting for April 15 that opening youth season here n Ohio !!! Gobble gobble !! Do turkey videos again if u boys game

Yeah that’s why I wasn’t a fan of the easy snell knot but I didn’t realize the first knot was another variation of it!
All my knots are improved clinch knot and they haven’t failed me yet

[askmike]

I use the second variation in the video but I usually do 10 wraps then 2 reverse wraps back onto the shank. Holds tighter and I've never lost a fish to it.

[TouchfRd]

freaking beautiful knots. new sub. Checking your content out now. Love it so far

[TheArby]

I dont trust the simple snell but my shaky hands wont allow me to do a snell that locks itself down. I always drop some Krazy glue on the windings and let it dry. Works for me so far.

[edwarddaniel]

The uni snell is definitely the more solid way to go.

[lonniehelton]

I use the easy smell method and tie them ahead of time. I just put a dab of super glue on the knot and it will never loosen.

[CommanderC]

The first one you tied isn’t the uni version of a snell. It’s actually closer to a traditional snell knot. A uni snell knot wasn’t shown in this video and it’s where you wrap the tag around both loops of main like a noose.

[voppie]

poked myself with the hook more than i did wrapping it around my hook I wont give up

[rickalsip]

I lost some decent fish last summer from bad knots mostly using the clinch knot and couple from tightening my drag as tight as it would go 😂😂 amateur hour here

[keithpeterson]

The traditional knot works the best, is quick to tie and there is no fuss, no fish lost unless I am the dummy.

[nicknoga]

I usually add a half hitch to the tag end....that wasy if either of them slip, the half hitch catches on the wraps and wont come loose
