HOW TO SNELL FISHING HOOK - STRONGEST FISHING KNOT TO A HOOK

Cast Nets We Use → bit.ly/2X9EJJj

When you snell a hook onto your leader you are passing the leader through the eye of the hook and wrapping it around the shank. While there are many ways to tie a snell, Captain Tim and myself prefer this method as it is easy and extremely strong. This works on all size hooks and target species. We hope this video helps you catch more big fish and if you have any questions, please comment below.
Tight Lines,
Captain Mike

already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). kzbin.infoUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.

[@markcharron285]

thats a good knot for larrge hooks and lines but for 2/0 snell works just fine

[@choritzo1963]

It's annoying that a lot of these videos for tying knots, when it comes to making a video, they use clear/invisible line to show the viewer. I find myself straining to see the small details, to learn it right. Use a thicker, darker, visible string with a contrasting background for the viewer to make sure he learns it right. That's the purpose of the video, RIGHT ???

[@patrickkelly8095]

So as a person that is obsessed with tying knots. I am a mountain and rescue expert and lifelong fisherman. I have seen hundreds maybe thousands of knot tying vids and demos. This guy did the absolute best job of showing how to tie a knot. Cudos to him and the video guy.

[@pitdawg6418]

Basically a uni knot on the shank of the hook.

[@terryogletree2128]

Yep , been doing like that for years

[@johnsimmons2840]

I’m sure he’s an expert but that was too fast too invisible too much movement and too far away to learn from :(

[@gregcolin9488]

It's a uni knot around the line and hook. Thanks!

[@larrytischler8769]

The circle hook needs to match the thickness of the side of the jaw of the target species. There must be clearance between the point and the shank to fit around the jaw and it can not be too wide, or you will miss a lot of fish. Too much bait will make them ineffective.

[@ChrisBassFishingAdventures]

Exactly!!!! I’ve been saying it forever yet it still seems like most people don’t understand that. For a circle hook to be effective it must have a large enough hook gap to get past the tooth patch on the fish your targeting. No way around it. You may hook a few fish on hooks that are too small or baits that are too big but your hookup ratio will be greatly decreased. One of the main reasons I use a 10/0-12/0 hook when I’m targeting catfish 50+ pounds with extremely large baits

[@JA-gx4hb]

Not a well done video, I can't see anything. Watch Darcizzle tie a snell, she's using thick colored cord and a huge hook, very easy to see what she's doing.

[@parkerdegroot7871]

I love watching this channels vids this guy deserves more credit for his hard work!

[@jameymcguire5776]

Would you prefer the snell over a loop knot when live baiting small white baits also? Or mainly slow trolling big mullet? Wondering if it prevents small baits from having more natural presentations? Also what length top shot of mono? Love the videos Capt! Keep them coming

[@bryannolan4915]

Poor presentation It is not well visible. Use colored line and go slow and show it close.

[@ComputerGuyAndy]

In NJ it's called a "power snell". This knot will also prevent the line from fraying/breaking where the line rubs against the rough edge of the opening in the eye. It keeps line centered in the eye by tying to the shank of the hook. Thanks, Great Video!

[@deepseafishinggear4751]

Solid Video.. Big Fan... Who knows maybe we can collab on project in the future .. INRL I am videographer who films sporting events! ;)

[@kyle-qw5yx]

I just feed the line through the eye, pinch down at the lower end of the hook, and then make my 6 loops around. When you're done theres a loop where you pinched and you feed the tag end through that and pull tight. Much easier

[@UrbanFisherman]

Great great video. Thanks again. 😎

[@ronaldnorris2179]

Can be done much faster and easier, sorry but fact.

[@THE-FISHERMAN-424]

GOOD JOB MATE IAM WATCHING FROM AUSTRALIA TIGHT LINES 🇦🇺 🙂 👍

[@cricky3166]

Which rod and reel best in shore fishing in sea....?

[@sevenoel]

What song is that right @ 34 seconds in?

[@mulletman49]

Thank you for the quick response and a Happy and Blessed New Year to You and your family.

[@dhorne2046]

Awesome video man! I’m targeting river grouper this weekend going to set up some snow old hooks tonight! Thanks Captain Mike

[@mulletman49]

Hello Captain, great video as always! Can you please let me know the name of the rod and reel that captain Tim had and explain to me how much top-shot mono he puts on his reels. Just trying to learn. I hope these are shimano TLD’s because I do have a few of those. Nice setup. Nice video. Thank you!

[@ReelReports]

JP - The reel is a Shimano TLD 15 which of all the sizes is the easiest to cast so it makes a great all purpose reel. And the rod is a custom 20-30lb 8 footer by Chaos Rods with a soft tip for slinging mullet far. He put 300 yards of braid and filled the rest with 30lb mono, so he got about 100 yards of mono on there. Check out our video on "Tarpon Rod and Reel" for more.

[@Kevo305]

Great Tutorial ! I definitely have to try this knot!

[@ReelReports]

Thank you Kevin, It is a very strong knot and as you can see simple to tie.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

what does he mean by "snelled eye"?

[@hattrick5076]

I am going to retire next year. I used to go fishing a lot with my son until he was K.I.A. in the Navy in Iraq in '03. I want to get back into fishing again for my retirement. Thank you so very much for teaching me a few things. Wherever there is a lake, I'll be there.

[@drummaboi1]

literally the hardest way ive seen to tie this snell. go in through the back, wrap around the hook and back in through the back..horrible, this video had me going back and testing my method vs this. This snell should take about 30 seconds to tie if youre not on a boat, this method takes 5 minutes -_-

[@haroldcale4767]

Thank you very much/

[@umx4]

Thank you for this video finally i found a way to make a clean snell knot every time

[@ReelReports]

Thanks for tuning it. Catch em up.

[@cubankong75]

Hi Captain what rod and reel was that setup. Thanks for all the great knowledgeable videos you have been putting out much appreciate

[@ReelReports]

That is a Shimano TLD15 on a custom Chaos rod. Check out our “tarpon rod and reel” video.

[@cubankong75]

ReelReports thanks captain i will check it out thank you

[@barryiwashita6352]

Good job showing everyone this👍🏼.....also it’s not just for big line (leaders) and hooks... I use it all the way down to 8 lbs test and also open style hooks... good fishing to you’all !

[@Mr40tt]

Nice! Thank You.

[@voanhcuocvolam1803]

To do a best snell knot, you need a tube, like if you know what im talking about

[@jshall1000]

Ive been tying loop knots to my hook for snook. No wonder my hook up ratio is bad. I thought i had to use loop for live bait snook. Just nebie question though. Does that hinder the action of the bait

[@michaelfinley6552]

Basically a uni knot snell

[@ahsrafmedical8093]

NOT CLEAR.. WHT. LINE WHT GROUND VERY FAST

[@richardvila3]

Very nice, will try a double for snappers

[@hspatzer]

Geez...not one of the best demos for sure - no visibility.

[@paulwyman2299]

Very helpful video thank you ..do you need to moisten the line any before tightening

[@bootlegapples]

Chunky bait on full display :53

[@kevinbrewer6985]

Thanks! I fish on others boats and am still learning rigging, much more to learn. Kevin

[@leonardogranados2733]

Great video. Kindly What brand of pliers were used on this video ?

[@cesarcharon7573]

Manley 6' pliers

[@Thebankfisher]

I do it a lot different ...like a knot less knot

[@FastEddy1959]

What is the purpose of the top-shot of mono? Is it for casting?

[@ReelReports]

Stretch

[@Moontanthefirst]

Good tutorial guys, thank you.

[@jrc9764]

So a uni knot snell, seems so simple

[@jeremylavis9541]

Great tutorial. Thanks

[@pa1264]

Thank you for the video

[@maaifoediedelarey4335]

That looks like a good reel - what kind is it (with the lever drag) ?

[@timoconnor9979]

Shimano TLD15

[@slagletoby]

I like this one the best!

[@bill-nj6fc]

no need for all that

[@joedarden2276]

Outstanding

[@unluggyuce7264]

Uni knot snelll*

[@Staarker99]

How does snell dude join mono leader to braid, that could be important to know.

[@timoconnor9979]

I only use braid for backing with a mono top shot. I join the braid to mono with a uni-to-uni knot.

[@terryogletree2128]

@@timoconnor9979 try the improved Albright

[@terryogletree2128]

He's a real fart sneller

[@dantolo817]

Nice video 👍

Ty brother!

[@devingable8467]

wtf! lol

[@johnbergeron3486]

Thank you

[@guillermoguerrero9250]

Perfec

[@berxamag]

They make fishing sound too complicated. I caught a 50lb tarpon on a 5 foot spinner loaded with a 10lb test mono. All these fancy gear nowadays taking the fun outta simple fishing

[@terryogletree2128]

Berxamag being a prepper is 3/4 of the fun , prep 3 days for every 1 day fishing 🤓

[@carloscoll20]

Uní knot?

[@rancidclown07]

How the hell do you make a 12 minute video for 30 second knot? LMFAO

[@terryogletree2128]

Rancidclown very carefully

[@williamgreen3844]

Be nice if I could see it Use color line

[@leeatkins9850]

This is the best snell video I’ve seen.

[@timoconnor9979]

Thanks, Lee. We're glad that it helps.
