There are at least six different ways to snell a hook. This is the easiest way so thanks for that! (FYI, in Ashley's Book of Knots this is a simplified version of the Heaving Line Knot #538)
Perfect video instructions, thanks a bunch, i think i seen this knot about 4-5 times before... this time i actually will remember it thanks to your very clear and easy instructions. 🤯
I love that type of knot. In stead of pinching the loop to put through the eye, you can insert the line end (no loop) then take the line end again and feed it back through the eye forming the loop. To me its easier than trying to stuff the pinched loop through the eye.
Wow! Great instructions. I snell a knot often but my methods are more complicated and do not end up as smooth as yours. This will be my new knot for sure. Subscribed!
As someone else mentioned there are several ways to tie a snelled hook. If I'm at home on a rainy day I'll snell some hooks (usually Japanese style spade hooks) with my version of the nail knot method using a length of small diameter plastic tube that can be had from a coffee stirring stick or cleaning swab (Q-tip in the States). Simply lay the tag end and the tube on the shank of the hook with a generous length of tag, the wrap from the bottom to the top. When you have enough wraps you insert the tag through the top of the tube until it comes out the bottom. Then pinching the wraps you pull the tube out from the bottom and then pull both ends of the line. In my opinion this is the best version of a snelled hook but obviously a bit cumbersome to do fishing out in the elements.
First way I learned as a kid to tie a hook and 36 years later in still using the exact tieit never fails!! I've had line strong enough shore fishing when snagged its bent the treble hook.. Knot and line didnt give way.
The strongest , easiest,clean and reliable knot ewer. Was watching on youtube other knots people showing. Some are stupid, some look simple but they are not simple and not strong. This knot you can youse even for crocodile and not to work about strength. The best knot in the world. Also looks wery pretty.
A great tying knot Arshad. (I was taught that as a Clyde shipyard apprentice in the mid 70's for 'dressing' the ends of emergency power cables on Royal Navy warships using twine ;) )
Nice knot. I use the basic fishermans knot. It's easier to tie when out fishing and swapping hooks. Never had a problem. I might try this new knot since I heard it pulls the hook at a different angle, which increases hook probability.
I make dog leashes from climbing rope. I use monofilament to sew loops both as the handle and to attach the clip. I usually sew with at least two separate sections of thread. After that I cover the sewn area with 1.0 to 1.5mm woven accessory rope of the same design using the technique shown here. I cremated the leash with my last dog, still in excellent condition after over 11 years of daily use.
Sir you are simply awesome....you explained it in a very simple manner and easy to make everyone understand....requesting you to make a video on Sabiki rigs
How does this compare to a walleye knot or uni knot? Do you have any videos of strength testing different knots to compare? That'd be bad ass! I'd definitely watch. Maybe I'll look later. Also thank you for the very clear straightforward video! Much appreciated!
@@Makflies As a retired outdoor writer, who specialized in fishing the Great Lakes, I've watched so many knot tying tutorials where the tag end does not get tightened, and is then clipped way too short. This is the most important when it comes to this type of knot. I use a needle nose exactly like you did and I wish other videos would show how important that last step is. It's one of the reasons why people will try the knot and wonder why it isn't very reliable. Also, when using thinner braided line (40 lb and lighter), it helps to tie an overhand knot on the tag end and slide it up tight to the knot before cinching the tag end tight and clipping the tag end just behind the overhand knot. With braid you don't see the tiny overhand knot (40 lb braid is as thin as 8 lb mono), but it's good insurance against the tag end slipping through. Do this when tying a back-to-back uni using braid. Thanks again! The knot is the business end of the whole show, so do it right.
First saw this demonstrated at a trade show in Holland about 20 years ago, and there were two versions. This was the first and best no knot method, the second had the return down the side of the turns and looked ugly and untidy. I believe the guy who was doing the demonstration was called, Herman the German. Very secure knot and you need no other for your hooks.
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 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.
It so simple and been using noose knot that is a pain in the *** and just one little mistake and you start all over again. Thank you for simplifieding my next trip
I've always used this knot..but was told too start with the hook facing up so there line runs from outside of the hook this is supposed to make it track better through the water..best vid
This is a great presentation of an excellent way to snell a hook, the best tutorial I've encountered on the subject to date. Good job! But, FYI, a snell is NOT the "strongest fishing knot" for attaching a hook to a line - especially not with the hook you utilized in your demonstration. The point of failure in the snell you tied in the video, under heavy pressure, will very likely be in the main line slightly above the point at which it enters the first coil. The wire of the hook in this area is not perfectly smooth and round, and it damages the line under heavy tension. This doesn't mean a snell is worthless, or even sub-optimal. Snells are very useful, and some people find them easier to properly and consistently tie than other knots. The snell's performance is consistently good across every type of monofilament I tested it on, unlike all the other common knots I've tested. Take the double-Uni knot, also known as the Fish-N-Fool knot, for example. This knot tested very strong in Maxima Ultragreen 3lb, Maxima Ultragreen 8lb, Maxima Ultragreen 12lb, Izorline XXX 4lb, Izorline XXX 6lb, Izorline 10lb, Ande Premium 8lb, Ande Premium 15lb, Ande Premium 20lb, and Izorline First String 20lb; but, in Izorline XXX 30lb, the knot is abysmally weak, to the point it shouldn't be used. The snell, on the other hand, has consistently good performance across all lines tested, is easier to tie without damaging the line, and is much easier to tie consistently well.
Excellent. I need a little vise like that. I have tremors and handling thread or fishing line is a chore. THAT was a very good looking snell. Thank you
What is the name of the knot I didn’t hear if you said it or not, And also that’s a lot of dedication replying to all those comments. Plus, does it also work for braid?
You can't always put a double thickness through the eye (but usually you can, as you use lighter line with smaller hooks/flies), and you get the same strength just tying the same knot without doubling. Dad taught me that knot when I was 8. With that, and a figure-8 loop a few inches from the hook, you have snelled hooks just as good as store-bought.
Since I saw this video all my hooks are done with this not, it looks perfect and neat as well as it is strong like no other one and I even managed to break the hook where the knot was not touched. Thanks a lot
Well if by that you mean braid I don't know why you would use braid for a leader as it has terrible resistance to abrasion hence always the reason for monofilament or fluorocarbon. If you're talking about a hybrid line a copolymer line it would work with that also just not recommended to ever use braid as a leader.
Hi Mak! You have a lot of knot - sense ;o) ha ha. I guess that's a snell, known for it's strong straight line of pull hook sets. I've had difficulty tying that knot out of hand. I guess it'd be easier for me done in a vise like you illustrated. But I can't recall seeing it tied on a straight eye hook, only down eye hooks like the Eagle Claw snelled bait hooks I use to buy before I started finesse fishing and tying my own with lighter line on straight eye hooks with a clinch knot. So I googled snell knot and a video by Rapala showed a pro angler tie the knot on a straight eye hook. He said the main line coming out the bottom of the hook eye, where the hook point is, causes the hook point to lever up for sure hook set every time. I wondered if you noticed this in your fishing? Sorry for the length of this but I love the mechanics of fishing and respect your opinion. But sometimes I just say "heck just go fish", lol ;o) Thanks Mak, all the best my friend!
Lol,,, Thank you Joe, to be honest I am not really expert on Knots but i use this one for Sea Fishing, I have seen friends catching like 20-30 lb Groupers & Tuna and King Mackerel, I am sure when you use this knot you can't go wrong :))
@@Makflies thanks Mak. That sounds like fun, and I love tuna, and mackerel especially. Never had grouper but I've seen video of the huge ones big enough to swallow a scuba diver. I've not fished the salt yet but it's on my bucket list... and that bucket is close to spilling over ;o) Cheers buddy!
I remember this being only knot I knew that worked on hooks without the eye, they had just flattened end instead of an eye. Don't know if such hooks are for some purpose or was just cheaper to make back then, but it worked.
Is there any reason why I shouldn’t use this knot all the time? Are there pros and cons or should the strongest knot be used in almost every situation?
@@Makflies I don’t think you understood my question. I don’t know anything about knots especially fishing knots. So my question was, are different knots better for different situations (maybe you for smaller fish) OR is the best knot the strongest knot?
If you spit on the knot before you tighten it, you will lubricate the knot, leading to reduced friction and consequent heat generation that really weakens monofilament line.
@@Makflies I might give it a go.....similarly, I've been using the half tucked blood knot for years, I guess it's just a habit of what you get used to and feel comfortable and familiar with. Old dog, new tricks.....and all that.
There is a chance of loosening of that knot ,you must put one or two additional knot before cutting.We were catching fish using this type knot but with hole less hooks
Maybe do a strength test against the palomar knot. Be intrested to see the results as it doesn’t strangle itself or create friction on the line under tension. It was the go to knott when fishing for catfish up to 150lb on the Spanish river Ebro.
@@Makflies after reading through the comments I realised I used to tie this knott on my spade end hooks maybe 30 years ago! I imagine against the shank it’s a good strong not! The palomar used to be tested against the blood knott and always out performed it 😉
Yep! I dont know jack about knots but I can see that this turns all the line stress forces into tension instead of shearing, like it would with just a lame simple square knot in the eye.
I don‘t exactly know why this was recommended to me, fishing is something i would probably never do, but at least now i know how to make a strong knot🤷🏻♀️
Great Knot i believe it Originated in England when Hooks didn't have eyes they had a splayed end no Eye and they were called a Match fishing hook and small.
I love videos on making knots as it is something I certainly do not excel at, but that is never where mine breaks... Those dang fish love to get stuck in our cattails. Mostly, it breaks at some random place far out on the line
It's always good to improve your skill set by learning new knots. This is basically a cinch knot like the fisherman's knot or improved version, but consider this, what would be stronger, a line cinching on itself or a line cinching on a hook?
We used to call a very similar one (maybe the same one, it's been decades since I've used one) a blood knot, no idea why, it was a damn good knot though.
Ive learned the loop knot the davy knot, the palamar knot, and some others. I still see no advantage of any of them over the simple clinch knot for light lines and the improved clinch knot for heavier applications.

Maybe do a strength test against the palomar knot. Be intrested to see the results as it doesn’t strangle itself or create friction on the line under tension. It was the go to knott when fishing for catfish up to 150lb on the Spanish river Ebro.
Thank you Simon :))
@@Makflies after reading through the comments I realised I used to tie this knott on my spade end hooks maybe 30 years ago! I imagine against the shank it’s a good strong not! The palomar used to be tested against the blood knott and always out performed it 😉
Yep! I dont know jack about knots but I can see that this turns all the line stress forces into tension instead of shearing, like it would with just a lame simple square knot in the eye.
thank you :)
For no reason i just watched it and 100% satisfied
Thank you :))
Thank you, that was a good demonstration
thank you :))
I don‘t exactly know why this was recommended to me, fishing is something i would probably never do, but at least now i know how to make a strong knot🤷🏻♀️
Thank you Sir :))
This is actually how nylon string classic guitars are strung!
Thank you friend :)))
Looks good Mak. I think that the leader probably will break before anything else does.
Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Aloha🌴🎣🤙🏼
Thank you Kent, I am glad you like it :))
What’s the device that the hook is in?
Fly Tying Vice :)
Whats that tool he uses to hold the hook
Fly Tying Vice
Thanks
Thanks! This would be a good knot for jewelry making too!
thank you :))
Glad to know the knot my dad taught me still works
thank you friend :)
Great Knot i believe it Originated in England when Hooks didn't have eyes they had a splayed end no Eye and they were called a Match fishing hook and small.
Thank you so much for the info friend :))
very instructive video and neat result
Thank you Keith 😊
I was taught how to do this as a kid and I slowly forgot it because no one could reteach it to me thank you
Thank you friend :))
I love videos on making knots as it is something I certainly do not excel at, but that is never where mine breaks...
Those dang fish love to get stuck in our cattails. Mostly, it breaks at some random place far out on the line
Thank you friend :)))
Any chance u could do a video on doing a double hook?
Will do that soon :))
Suddenly I recalled long forgotten poem "You fit into me" by Margaret Attwood.
Thank you so much friend :))
Not knocking anything, but I have to ask why? I would never mess with this when a clinch or improved clinch knot works just fine.
what ever rock your Boat my friend, just go with it :))
It's all good, since I don't fish anything but flies is why it wouldn't work for me.
It's always good to improve your skill set by learning new knots. This is basically a cinch knot like the fisherman's knot or improved version, but consider this, what would be stronger, a line cinching on itself or a line cinching on a hook?
It hooks better than tying it on as it presents the hook better. I use both clinch knots, but only to tie swivels, never hooks.
@@pakde8002 its actually a snell, but weakened by a loop at the beginning
I don’t know why this was in my recommendations, but now I know the strongest fishing knot! And I don’t even fish!
thank you friend :)
We used to call a very similar one (maybe the same one, it's been decades since I've used one) a blood knot, no idea why, it was a damn good knot though.
Thank you :))
My go to knot now, Thank You
Beautiful and uncomplicated like a high school sweet heart.
Thank you so much 😀
What equipment you use to hold the hook?
It is a Fly Tying Vice :)))
I honestly wasn't aware of any other knot. Like many on here I was taught this as a child and never looked back.
Thank you friend :)))
This knot my father teached me when i was kid. Im doing it now for 25 years
Thanks, you so much my friend :)))
Looks quick and easy and will give it a try. TY
Thank you friend 👍👍
Hello all,
I don't fish. I've always wanted to. But as a general okay knot-tying person this feels very strong to me. Not sure if I could explain it.
Thank you friend :))
Wow, that was a great video!
Thank you Russell :))
Ive learned the loop knot the davy knot, the palamar knot, and some others. I still see no advantage of any of them over the simple clinch knot for light lines and the improved clinch knot for heavier applications.
Thank you for the update information friend 😊😊
Thnx I never knew this snell before...great fishing knot.....
Thank you so much 😊😊
