Get your FREE Knot Guide here! —  https://bit.ly/3UnAeIPThe Snell Knot is a popular fishing knot used to attach a fishing hook to a fishing line, particularly when using bait for bottom fishing or targeting species with a sharp downward pull. The Snell, while not the strongest knot I’ve tested, it has other attributes that make it desirable for some anglers. It's known for its effectiveness in keeping the hook in optimal position for hook sets.Here's how to tie the Snell Knot: Thread the Line: Pass the tag end of the fishing line through the eye of the fishing hook, from front to back, leaving a tag end hanging below the hook. Wrap the Line: Hold the tag end and the shank of the hook together, then wrap the tag end around the shank and the line above it 5 to 8 times, depending on the size of the hook and the diameter of the line. Pass Through the Eye: After wrapping, pass the tag end back through the eye of the hook from back to front, so that it exits on the same side as the hook point. Tighten: Before tightening the knot completely, moisten it with water or saliva to lubricate it. Then, carefully pull both the main line and the tag end simultaneously to cinch the knot down tightly against the hook eye. Ensure that the wraps are snug and seated neatly against the shank of the hook. Trim Excess: Once the knot is tightened securely, trim the excess tag end close to the knot using scissors or a line cutter. The Snell Knot is valued for its ability to keep the hook aligned with the fishing line, resulting in better hook sets and increased hooking efficiency, especially when using live bait or fishing in situations where a quick and secure hook set is crucial. Practice tying the Snell Knot several times to become proficient, and you'll have a reliable knot for your fishing endeavors.How2Tuesday is presented by Danco Pliers!Danco sports is an industry leading manufacturer of pliers, knives and accessories for anglers worldwide.
