I have been using this knot for years whilst fishing the Salmon River in Pulaski NY. Great and easy knot to tie while on the river. Very strong and I have had some big fishies on up there. Thanks for the demo.

[@robertmount1379]

I watched it twice and figured it out thanks man trying new rigs this year fingers crossed

[@therustyfisherman7922]

Great video! only knot I tie since I started fishing as a boy

[@wilsonkoh]

This is my favourite knot since I started fishing. It has never ever failed me before at all. 👍👍👍

[@cwc0023]

Snell knot or a variation of the snell knot. Great knot for fishing if you notice when you put tension on the line with this knot the sharp end of the hook reacts jerking in an upward motion, greatly increasing the power of a hook set

[@HowToFish]

Exactly, good observation mate!

[@emilmaier2953]

These hooks are just great. I’ve caught many striper/rockfish with these hooks (10/0). Super sharp, very strong, and they take a lot of abuse and won’t rust. Overall they are my favorite hook for striped bass.

[@HowToFish]

Great to hear that! Keep tight lines!

[@Engineer_Heathen]

My personal favorite is the Palomar knot. That's what most pros use and its really easy to tie. Nice video!

[@HowToFish]

Thank you mate, I like to use Palomar for braided line because it's strongest fishing knot. For mono or fluorocarbon I prefer knot-less knots because they give the best results. Thanks again for commenting!

[@ricardosan85]

excelent video, im starting at this field and it helped me a lot... keep the good work

[@mrsmatalamaki]

Thanks! I totally forgot how to tie this knot and am tired of my BF looking at me incredulously as I tie a basic knot on my fish hook...lol I like the way this knot holds up to a fighting fish better than the old standby that I have used for sometime now.

[@HowToFish]

Hi Ashlie, This knot never let me down and is basically everything you need to know from tying hooks. Thanks for watching How to Fish channel!

[@crix868]

i really can't thank you enough for your tutorial. i've always gone fishing but never really educated myself about techniques to help me improve my fishing and something simple as this i'm sure will help me out significantly!

[@HowToFish]

crix868 Hi, This knot will never let you down! Thanks for your comment!

[@richnorman7058]

It's an excellent knot and it's easy once you do it a few times. I watched KZbin to learn how to do it. Didn't know about the moistening part. It explains a couple of weird break-offs I had one day.

[@HowToFish]

Hi Rich, I'm glad you like it! Stay tuned new fishing tips coming soon!

[@haemin8759]

great! there are some other methods, but this is basically what you need to do! thanks!

[@Trumpy_Bear]

Although this was probably answered already, no way to tell as I haven't browsed the comments, but this is the uni version of a snell knot it is often easier for most to tie than a traditional snell but they both get the job done. NICE VID & THANXXX

[@frogfoot198]

It's my favorite knot also. And that hook is perfect for sheepshead.

[@HowToFish]

Hi Clayton, We have something in common... Thanks for watching!

[@KWFishingChannel]

Nice

[@Chubbza5]

I've seen these on fishing hooks I've found on the ground but never knew how to make one. Thank you! Seems like the way to go with a big hook and big eyelet.

[@HowToFish]

Check my other video, you will see that this knot is good also for small hooks as well. Thanks for the comment.

[@airbats801]

Thanks for the post, this is the knot my old man taugh me long ago, and I had forgotten it, Was trying to figure it out when I stumbled across thisvideo. Great knot for spinning glo setups. Very durable too, Caught many chinook and steelhead off this knot.

[@HowToFish]

Thanks for one more proof that this is excellent knot!

[@ottogal9841]

Snell, older than me

[@SCOUSER-]

This is known in the U.K as the Knotless knot, and is one of the strongest knots to use, also the the palomer knot is very good, cool video, I've never tied it this way, thanks👍

[@HowToFish]

Thank you very much for the comment!

[@alt9741]

It's a Snell knot (or Snelled Knot), people tie them differently but that's what it is. Excellent knot for keeping your hook pointed a certain direction, resists chaffing. Lindy-type rigs (walleye fishing) make good use of them. nice video too.

[@HowToFish]

Excellent explanation and thanks for watching How to Fish channel

[@bikcatfish3327]

thx so mutch bro im need this to go fising at fake bite in czech republick and this is help me :)

[@lorenzoparagallolp]

Thanks for the tip mate. I'll try this one out.

[@HowToFish]

Good luck! Cheers

[@ceruleandrms]

Cool knot. I'm always down to learn new fishing knots. Thank you

[@HowToFish]

Thank you, you are always welcome on my channel!!!

[@HASSINE83]

i have been using the same method since mid 70's but i think it is easier if you hold the hook the other way round from the eye making you way up !

[@twisteddifferent]

Thanks for posting this tutorial. My Dad taught me this when I was very young, but I forgot how to do it. He passed away a long time ago so I thought I would never know how to learn it again. Cheers!!

[@florenciogarcia808]

that right there my friends is a snail knot great for flipping and pitching heavy cover with a heavy tungsten weight when you set the hook it flips up get a good hookup

[@OussamaElouali]

Thaaat Hook is too Big haha , thank you for sharing this .

[@HowToFish]

Oussama, thanks for watching! I wish you tight lines!

[@blueberryisabella3741]

This is my favorite knot,. It's the best

[@HowToFish]

First, this is excellent fishing not for hooks, but for snap and swivels there is no better and faster knot that I tied hook in video #2 !!!

[@bajaloco22]

i use this knot for circle hooks ... great knot!

[@HowToFish]

Thanks Puma!

[@parveenlyall2081]

Very Old Video But Nice Knot Teach You Watching from New Delhi India

[@novachannel1981]

i did it woot lol stabbed my finger with the hook but i got it thanks abunch subbed and liked :)

[@RogueReflections]

Fantastic video. I appreciate that you do these videos with over-sized hooks so I can see and understand. Thank you!

[@UPTHETOWN]

It's a snell or whipping knot, used to tie spade end hooks too

[@cecea2630]

thank you

[@HowToFish]

Instead of dislike they should practice more because it's worth it!!!

[@betachannelfishing]

Good job kawan

[@HowToFish]

Thanks Benny!

[@user-ku1iy5fk4v]

Awesome! I will be using this not a lot for fishing. thank you

[@HowToFish]

Thanks Rogue!

[@jcallahan35]

BIG HOOK and that's some shinny fishin line

[@Richcraftdoc]

Minimum of talk and a lot of doing!! I like.

[@HowToFish]

Thanks mate! Stay tuned, good videos coming!

[@HowToFish]

Thank you!

[@jmpurser]

Thank you. I can tie that version. Between my fat fingers and the fact I'm tying them on #2 hooks I mess it up almost every time. Your version I can get right almost every time. And my hooking percentage with circle hooks goes WAY up when I snell.

[@HowToFish]

Thanks, I'm very happy that this knot may become your favorite too. Stay tuned new videos coming soon!

[@snowismas]

Good job on putting a box right in front of the finished knot.

[@Fuktupratbag]

I've been using this knot for years and it's never broken. tie loop just a simple loop about and inch long. push it through the eye of the hook pull the loop over the hook and it forms a slip knot around the eyelet. it has never broken even under heavy shark fishing. the line breaks somewhere else if it's going to. but I use 200lb test braided steel cable leader. shark isn't getting away too easy. and shark is GOOD on the grille w/your favorite seasoning

[@marianoenriquez5183]

Very helpfull and detail thxxxx

[@Alish5334]

Nice hook..

[@HowToFish]

Thanks!

[@FinsleysCustomCarAudio]

We use that size hook in the ohio river. We throw a blue gill on it with 75-100lb test line out and leave it sit. Pulling in 20-35lb Cat fish almost every week. Most all the guys we fish with use that same knot also. We've never had any issues with it. Very strong. Great video. Still gotta figure the name of this knot because no1 knows the actual name...

[@HowToFish]

Hi buddy, Your story once more showed that this is the right knot and that you can use it on big or small hooks as well.Thanks for watching How to Fish channel and stay tuned new videos coming soon!

[@jamesaritchie1]

I've seen this knot, or one very much like it, but I don't remember the name. The only time I've seen it was when being used by a couple of carp fishermen in England.

[@HowToFish]

Yeah! Hook for Big Game Fishing!!!

[@legendaryboy94]

Legend mate! thanks

[@HowToFish]

Thank you for subscribing!

[@RogueReflections]

What a terrific video. I appreciate that you went slow and precise. I had to subscribe.

[@ecabrera888]

Thats one hell of knot good job on it! Made it easy to see on a big hook

[@VanVu-uu3jl]

This is exactly how I tie my hooks quick yet super strong

[@HowToFish]

Thanks Fotis, good elaboration of this fishing knot. One old man taught me how to make this knot when I was fishing as a kid!

[@andresbrett8850]

i realize I am kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new series online ?

[@sethroyal1983]

@Andres Brett Flixportal =)

[@andresbrett8850]

@Seth Royal Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !

[@sethroyal1983]

@Andres Brett glad I could help :D

[@RenStarFilm]

Thank you

[@HowToFish]

Tnx mate!

[@vladdonose2966]

my favorite knot too ..but i make it with the starting loop upside down and it is easyer to execute even on very small hooks

[@HowToFish]

VlaD Donose Hi Vlad, If you look at my videos, you will find video with ultra small hook which I tight with the same knot. There are lots of different variation of snell knot but this one works excellent for me on big or small hooks as well! Thanks for watching!

[@bootybooty7604]

Ya u got tht rite, 90 percent of the time i use braided cus i live in newengland, lotta weeds around here but if im flippin or jiggin ill use flurocarbon

[@algesbrek5695]

I find the best knot is the one where I land the fish before the hook falls off,works for me!!!

[@HowToFish]

Al GESBREK Hi Al, This is awesome knot if it's tight properly and you can use with eyeless hook as well. Thanks for your comment!

[@nickhemming7177]

WOW you could catch some big fish with that hook

[@robcalvert]

Not sure if the other comments mentioned this or not, but I wish you were narrating what you were doing.

[@cainansam6361]

agreed

[@Bessmusic]

take a loook at this, a looot oooof Cooins & Scrore here twitter.com/689f81d9489c4e075/status/843736681534570496

[@HowToFish]

Big Game Fishing hook, but I think that Jaws wouldn't mind.

[@Danny0M]

Interesting... I wind the line TOWARD the loop, not away from it... wonder if there's any difference regarding knot strength... nice vid!!

[@xxdacxx9783]

Awesome Snell knot

[@HowToFish]

Duncan Chant Hi Duncan, This knot never let me down! Thanks for watching How to Fish channel!

[@KalanzoKP]

I use this knot when I use 2 hooks. The way i was taught was to swing the line threw the eye 2x.s to make the loop and with that the extra line i could tie more hooks... thats when i use live bait to catch bigger fish

[@HowToFish]

hahaha tnx for posting!!!

[@ericacousins2192]

nice. It is pretty much the same knot I tie except upside down. I do the exact same thing above the hook which is how i was taught. I will try it your way next time. And as often as I've went fishing and as much as I have been taught, I don't ever recall anyone telling me you loose weight capacity if you don't wet the line first. good to know! thanks. cool.

[@pennington451]

A pretty lady that ties her own hooks!. That is sweet.

[@ericacousins2192]

i tie flies too ;)

[@pennington451]

Never tried that yet. One of these days.

[@pennington451]

Have you been fishing yet this spring?

[@ericacousins2192]

lots!

[@TTex11]

Holy crap, now that's a hook.

[@schlaznger8049]

I believe this is called a snell knot. I could be wrong but I think thats what it's called

[@HowToFish]

Hi Schlaznger, It's some type of snell knot but there so many types of snell knots so who knows what should be name for this one. Thank you for your comment!

[@schlaznger8049]

Your very welcome. Thank you for the informative video. I will try this knot the next time we go fishing of the coast of Texas. Red snapper here are brutal and I could always use a new trick in my tacklebox to get them up.

[@HowToFish]

Tight lines and calm sea !

[@jamesvincent8419]

yes it's one of the different variations of the snell knot (probably the easiest of them to tie).. they all have the same basic principle of the line wrapping around the shank of the hook... really good hook setting characteristics and a strong knot

[@HowToFish]

I usually use a hook size 4 for Carp fishing!

[@QSSCEO]

Very nice... Great video!! Thanks

[@johnthomas2255]

I use a size 10 or 12 barbless hooks for carp fishing on a hair rig which is all you need. You just can't horse the carp in .

[@HowToFish]

I agree with you. Thanks for the comment. Tight lines!!!

[@docwilkey]

Thanks for the demo.

[@HowToFish]

Glad that you like demo. Stay tuned new videos coming

[@dominicferreira3659]

Excellent.... ! I learned what I was looking for thanks...!

[@HowToFish]

dominic ferreira Hi Dominic, Thank you for watching and your comment!

[@jimishmong]

Wow, i never knew about the "wet the line" till this very day? Is this why i see people lick their lines before tying? haha

[@corntorteeya86]

Unintentional asmr, awesome

[@HowToFish]

Thanks!

[@stizan24]

I use Braided line with a florocarbon leader. I fish in a river with lots of sharp rocks and snags, and in a lake with lots of very thick weeds. I like how if I do get caught up I can usualy just bend a hook and I am good to go, for really bad snags with bigger hooks my double uni knot pops and I only loose my lure and about 18 inches of leader. I am not one of those jerks who leaves 100 yards of line in the water to foul the boat motors.

[@HowToFish]

Always make the fishing line wet before making a fishing knot to reduce friction.

[@Hellfire76]

Thanks great video

[@MrKarloz97]

Excellent!

[@HowToFish]

Happy to help. Thank you for commenting!!!

[@HowToFish]

I have many different videos with tying hooks but this not is my favorite! Thanks buddy for the comment!!!

[@tinatea1000]

If you sew.....this is like making a french knot with more winding around the string. Simplistic. Thank you............I'm using this for jewelry making. Nice thought about the line being wet...............Wait till I go fishing................will I be in the know......or not know................

[@HowToFish]

Thanks! Viva french knot!

[@HowToFish]

Rebecca Foster I can suggest you to try with easier knots for beginning. Palomar knot for example. Tnx

[@bojanacarmakpribilovic3811]

super! thanks!

[@TheFunkypool]

No worries, nice tutorial :)

[@johncooper9275]

looks like a spade end knot to me - but used on an eyed hook. Probably is quite strong as long as you tighten after moistening the line...

[@HowToFish]

Hi John, this fishing knot is strong and realiable if you tighten properly like any other fishing knot. Thanks for the comment!

[@johncooper9275]

How to Fish thanks for the reply - I do intend to give it a try. best wishes.

[@lindajones1592]

That's a hell of a barb on that hook lol

[@HowToFish]

Thanks buddy for the comment!

[@iamthemanman]

monster hook!

[@HowToFish]

It's similar to Snell knot. I've made video with tutorial, how to tie Snell knot. This knot is the best for monofilament. Thanks for the comment!!!

[@gavinbryant9699]

that knot is for spade end hooks. use the knotless knot for eyed hooks much quicker and easier with the same result.

[@anurajsaikia8113]

Nice fishing

[@ipod1978]

Good tutorial pal

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

Very cool thanks for sharing!

[@HowToFish]

Thank you for the comment!

[@eddzuki0]

the size of that hook!!!!!!! Try doing that on a size 22

[@meganmarkus4540]

Awsome

[@HowToFish]

Megan Markus Tnx Megan!

[@Vishal-fi3yc]

thanks bro i love it and any tips for why my hand is sweating

[@HowToFish]

Vishal Nambiar For other fishing tip check howtotiefishingknots.blogspot.com.au

[@Jonniedark57]

Vishal Nambiar Yeah it sweats cos of that bloody big hook possibly sticking into it...
