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.

[brianbruno]

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.

[Normful]

Neat looking knot. I use a uni knot on the shaft of the hook that has a bent eye so the line pulls straight. Just make five wraps and the line breaks before the knot.

[mark]

Thanks. I've had trouble snelling hooks using a uni knot with heavier monofilament. The knot loosens. Your method holds.

[needmoreboost]

It’s the best type of snell there’s a bit of a knack to tie it correctly but it is very strong!

[wbqg]

omg big thanks to you man i try do double hook with very close hooks only your way did work
thank you very much

[peterhino]

People been using this knot probably over 50 yrs and you made it better a mazing

[donaldotsig]

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

[chrisw]

From my own trials, the improved version you show definitely neater and won’t come undone - but it has so much twist that doesn’t come out that the knot/line breaks at much lower specs - I’ve seen it break just on tensioning the knot……

[kenf]

That's the way I tie all my hooks and haven't had a knot failure in 74 years of fishing!

[robertlosasso]

Neither one is correct . You should start wrapping your line from the top down .

[joaquimnunes]

At last someone showing a knot I have been using for, what? 50 years? Yes, the very first snell knot I learnt...

[Tex]

cant take the music - its like fingernails down a blackboard

[Jpgundarun]

Also If you have a long Tag end you can Gang your hooks using the same knot. Super neat.

[Elrond_Hubbard]

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.

[dennisl.]

That improved version is a classic knot known as the whipping knot. It’s a widely used knot in Europe.

[fishwhistle]

I do the first know only i wrap from top down. Never had a problem

[mirore]

Is this knot suitable for fluorocarbon?
