I use the first one all of the time. I've never seen the second or the third one. I watched the second one three times, thinking I was missing a step. Thanks for posting! I hate the "No Knot Snell" and won't use it. Some swear by it and I say "good for them". I won't argue with them.

I really like the second one! You can put bait in the loop. The extra time through the eye also keeps the leader from slipping down into the gap when you’re fishing with light leaders and live bait.
