    For the past couple of weeks I've gone down a Snell knot rabbit hole. I prefer to use braid with palomars (even for my leaders) and have been trying to find solid proof that a snell knot and mono will produce better hook up ratios and whether I should consider changing. Man, the theories are ALL OVER the place. Then you factor in eyes that are bent or straight and welded or not and hook points that are offset or not and then actions of rods too. It's crazy. :)

    Great video Dieter. Easy to see what you are doing. There are a couple other smells that are very easy too. I use one of those other snells(don't know what its called) that you could show. Wouldn't make your video more than 4 minutes either. Thanks.

    I like that first one. I’ve always used the second but, like you said, I feel nervous about it. Great video Dieter.

    That first knot the exact one I use, never had a problem tying or coming loose. I usually use 20-50lb Ande for a leader.

    I have found this tutorial about the Uni snell method, and its predecessors, very helpful and educational. Seaguar 30lb Blue Label Fluoro defeated me though. After two days of trying I gave up and tied a Palomar knot to a Gamakatsu 2/0. If you have any tips on tying "tough to tie" line I'd love to hear them (I won't be buying any more Blue Label Seaguar, it doesn't tie well with ANY knot for me).

    I always called it the no knot snell rather than easy I’ve never had it come loose used it for yrs I can also stop knot from backing off by adding a egg loop to the no knot and if u use chicken or chicken livers the egg loop can hold it on ! Great demo !!! Waiting for April 15 that opening youth season here n Ohio !!! Gobble gobble !! Do turkey videos again if u boys game

    @pablo10447 Рік тому +1

    Yeah that’s why I wasn’t a fan of the easy snell knot but I didn’t realize the first knot was another variation of it!
    All my knots are improved clinch knot and they haven’t failed me yet

    @askmike515 Рік тому +1

    I use the second variation in the video but I usually do 10 wraps then 2 reverse wraps back onto the shank. Holds tighter and I've never lost a fish to it.

    The uni snell is definitely the more solid way to go.

  • @TheArby13
    @TheArby13 Рік тому +1

    I dont trust the simple snell but my shaky hands wont allow me to do a snell that locks itself down. I always drop some Krazy glue on the windings and let it dry. Works for me so far.

  • @lonniehelton8386
    @lonniehelton8386 2 місяці тому

    I use the easy smell method and tie them ahead of time. I just put a dab of super glue on the knot and it will never loosen.

    The traditional knot works the best, is quick to tie and there is no fuss, no fish lost unless I am the dummy.

  • @evadsnurb9445

    Drop of super glue would hold that knot just to be safe but i like the first one best

    I lost some decent fish last summer from bad knots mostly using the clinch knot and couple from tightening my drag as tight as it would go 😂😂 amateur hour here

  • @richardjones2811
    @richardjones2811 Рік тому

    What works best for me is tying non-snell knots.
    A snell knot is designed for spade end hooks, not open eye hooks.
    The small gap between the eye and hooklength will shred a snell knot.

  • @voppie6085

    poked myself with the hook more than i did wrapping it around my hook I wont give up

  • @CommanderC1997
    @CommanderC1997 5 місяців тому

    The first one you tied isn’t the uni version of a snell. It’s actually closer to a traditional snell knot. A uni snell knot wasn’t shown in this video and it’s where you wrap the tag around both loops of main like a noose.

  • @rondoofnightmare775
    @rondoofnightmare775 Рік тому +1

    On the easy snell knot, I usually wrap 25 to 30 times down the shank of the hook before I go back through the eye. I find this helps with the knot slipping. Plus, I also stress the knot by hooking onto something but making sure the hook point remains untouched, and I pull on that knot as hard as I can several times, making sure knot holds.

  • @nicknoga88
    @nicknoga88 Рік тому

    I usually add a half hitch to the tag end....that wasy if either of them slip, the half hitch catches on the wraps and wont come loose

  • @mikeshuck2760
    @mikeshuck2760 4 місяці тому

    The second snell knot, is half an egg loop knot. Finish the loop knot and it will not be able to come loose.

    Nothing as infuriating as losing a fish to a failed knot! Thanks for the tips!

  • @joehunt4506
    @joehunt4506 Рік тому +1

    Question. When using the Santee cooper rig, can you use a boober stop to keep the spook from moving down the line getting closer to the hook?

    • @Selboy000
      @Selboy000 Рік тому

      Sure you can. I usually use a bead, a short section of small rubber tubing and another bead between the hook and the rattle. I don't like the rattle too close to the hook.

  • @nerveaudio

    Is there a difference between a "uni-snell knot" and a snell knot? Never heard of a uni-snell knot.

    • @slappylink
      @slappylink 3 місяці тому

      There is a difference yes, they are different knots.

  • @Elrond_Hubbard1
    @Elrond_Hubbard1 29 днів тому +2

    If the idea of a snell knot is that the line pulls straight through the eye, why don't they just make circle hooks with straight shafts? I know I'm missing something obvious.

    • @DieterMelhorn
      @DieterMelhorn  29 днів тому +1

      They do make circle hooks with straight eyes….

    • @Elrond_Hubbard1
      @Elrond_Hubbard1 29 днів тому

      @DieterMelhorn Oh, they do? I only ever see them with bent shafts. Do you know why they bend them? I'm new to circle hooks... I've only used Khale for cats but wouldn't mind trying.
