Yes....I learned that knot years ago and it's the only snell knot I use....I've seen deckhands and avid anglers tie one that is way quicker, but I don't know how to do it....If it ain't broke don't fix it...LOL
Thomas Bridges, I'll start with the style of hooks 1st. You want to use a straight shank style or "Tru-Turn" hooks. For trout, you can use treble hooks. The straight shank style is to snell hooks. You can use treble hooks as the trailer hook on the snell as well; it's personal preference. For trout, you'll generally want to use sizes from 8 - 4, maybe a 2 at most. That is unless you're going after Gerrad/Kamloop trout, steelhead, or Lakers in which you'll use sizes 2 - 1/0. You'll use the general sizes for Kokanee as well. For salmon, you'll use sizes 2 up to 2/0. That's how I use them. Just experiment and see what works for you. Good luck!
I'm new to trolling and have been learning a lot from your channel..... thanks
Absolutely love your videos. Hope to see you on the local waters some day
Nicely done great video 🤙
Thanks for the lesson! Learned exactly what I was looking for.
Cool...I love hearing that...Good luck!
I bet you know Shawn's guide service in Grass Valley CA. I went salmon fishing with him last year. Shawn is a very good guide and a nice person!
Yes he’s a great guide!
Great video. Nice job. I liked it!
Thanks for watching and commenting Dave...Hoochies work well!

Awesome video, should be pretty easy for me to tie the double hooks because that’s my egg loop knot for bar fishing the Fraser river.

Hi master! The squids 7 or 9 cm?
What sizes and colors to start with do you suggest. And where to order them from. What hooks to use

50 - 60# test for trout??? How big of trout are you targeting?
Guy H. The reason for heavy line from the dodger or flasher to lure is to get more action out of the lure not for breaking off
rproloff, good idea! I was hoping to make a little joke out of it. BUT... I've also learned something. Thanks!
He used heavy line for the purpose of showing how to tie the knot
plz zoom in...have someone else video it....geee
Why are they called hoochies? Lol
wtf is a shnell?
James Wolf it's "quick" in German
It's snell and a lot of people pronounce it "shnell"
@@guyh.4553 Correct way to say it is snell.
@@guyh.4553Snell is the correct way of saying the knot.
Right? That was annoying the hell outta me. SNELL
can't hear him very well.. and my volume is up full too! :(
