I knew this knot years ago and forgot about it! Nice one.
My buddy and I discovered this method in Feburary 1978, while on a trip to the 60 fathom grounds, off the Jersey coast. The reason it came so easy to us,... because I tied my own flies. So I employed the same hand whip method as in finishing the head of the fly. It was a minor bright moment for us. Whoever discovered that technique deserves the honor. One slight difference is taking the tag end up through the eye
and forming a loop that you pinch w/ thumb and index firmly against the shank, (the tag lays next to the eye)then putting right hand index and middle finger thru loop and begin the hand whip method. Like this you will have no loss of line(tag). But the method you show results in the very same knot. Amazing, thought I would never find someone who truly knows the proper method to snell a hook. Thanks brother, it would be great to fish with you. God bless.
Thanks for this! Very interesting and insightful! Thanks for sharing!
I'm gonna start tying my Snell like this from now on, I like this snell way better than the other snell i was tying
Works well. Tight lines
Howzit Xander, hope you are well. I've been trying new knots recently and I came across your demonstration. I'm excited to share that I've actually got it right. Thank you for the demo. Much appreciated. Simply love your channel. Top class 😄
Thank you Zander once again for an informative video.👌
As always, very good content for us south African rock and surf anglers. Something we can learn from instead of other channels that want to push brands only down your throat, these other guys lost the plot. Great channel and keep it up
Thanks mate! That is the idea of the channel! I want viewers to experience my day at the water! If the fishing was tough or great! Then ultimately learning something! Thank for the feedback! I genuinely appreciate it!
Awesome! This is how i tie my snells from now on.
Shot bro...learnt the knot from you ...excellent knot
I've been trying many different Snell knots recently but never seen this one before. Very interested to try it
good clear video showing how its tied. if you slightly change the way its tied you can tie the exact same knot straight onto line without cutting a length off.
best snell I've seen so far!
Great knot. Clean. It is the best on my trokar circle hooks. My other snell favourite has the tag end come out by the eye. That can cause an issue with slippage. This knot doesn't seem to have that problem. Thanks.
I really like that knot!
Thanks alot very informative can't wait to try it on some reef fishing in kzn
Thanks👊🏻
GOOD STUFF MATE VERY WELL DONE IAM WATCHING FROM AUSTRALIA TIGHT LINES 🇦🇺 🙂 👍
Nice pliers!
I could never get an ordinary snell to hold. Now this one works for sure
Great...i am glad it works for you. I love this knot!
Yep. This one from now on.
@@kennyscott1089 great! Tight lines🎣💪🏻
Not bad at all finishes off nicely.
Great video thanks for all the info
Great pleasure!
Its called uchigake musubi (内掛け結び), a common snell knot from Japan, along with sotogake musubi (外掛け結び), both knots seen here: czcams.com/video/Fupu3Y7vVbQ/video.html
Thank you! I like to be able to identify all knots.
You did the knot correctly, good technique, and very importantly, unlike many, didn't pull the whole knot straight when the line is already through the eye, but instead pulled first, then pushed the leader through the eye, that does avoid abrasion on the eye which will happen with other Snell ties when the leader is pulled through the eye to tighten everything up - a big mistake.
In general, I'd say don't tie a Snell on a straight hook eye - either on a turned inwards eye, or turned outwards eye hooks (i.e. Octopus hooks) are suitable for Snell.
Abrasion is the enemy of any Snell knot, always be careful where the line moves through the eye - that inside of the eye most of the time is rough and abrasive at the bottom shank side, and with the line constantly rubbing against it, will weaken the line - this happens mostly if tying a Snell on a straight up eye hook - to counter this, a small rubber tube can be inserted over the leader line right where it passes through the eye.
Absolutely! This way of making the snell reduces movement on the line and knot...luckily to date I haven't had any issues. Thanks
Nice knot xander
Thanks awesome way 👌
Thank you!!!!
Need more videos please great to watch and awesome tips
Some more rigs and bait clips would be great
Thank you
Keep up the great work 👍👍
Thanks man....over time they will come! Tight lines!
Sorry net n vraag wanneer is die beste tyd vir duckbills hier by mosselbaai kant het vroeer die jaar n 16kg gekry by hartenbos
Enige advies sal help
Dankie
@@dudleyjames6197 yes man...van nou af tot april toe👌🏼
Awesome, thanks for the sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another option for Snelling
Pleasure! Tight lines!
Michael H Looks like the best one too me.
2niiiiice br0, ill try this out👌🏾
That is a badass knot Ill try it on red snapper
awesome buddy thanks
Wrap from the bight towards the eye.. & tighten by pulling the tag end .. its stronger.. test it!
I see many differences in Snell knots and I always wonder which is stronger. Interesting to hear wrapping bottom to top increases strength
The only snell I tie. Even with 200 lb mono its a true 100% line strength knot & most appropriate for eithef turned up eye circle hooks or straight eye circles which I prefer for thatself setting angle that the straight eye encourages. If its a real big fish rig I clip tag below snell & carefully mushroom it with a lighter just for that peace of mind if I hook a monster. 1 video suggests chafing gear through eye for those hooks without welded eyes. Thank you for confirming my approach.
Good morning
Is there a material difference between using one knot and using another? Or is it mainly based on personal preference?
I've been using that type of snell knot but the only drawback is if you're using a mono leader on braid you'll have to start from scratch, so I use a method that can be done while the leader is attached to the main line by using the plastic stem of a cotton bud ear swab or Q-tip as it's called in the states. I'll try to explain it but it's easier to learn by watching of course. First take your leader thru the eye and pull out a few inches. Hold the short bit of swab stem to the hook shank below the eye then wrap from bottom to top a few times as you said depends on line size then run the tag end thru the cotton bud stem ( I cut mine about an inch and a half or 6 cm more or less) . Then pull the stem down and tighten up the knot by pulling the main line and tag end. Trim it off close if you like as it's not going anywhere or leave a small tag if you want to be extra safe. You're method is great for guys using a snap swivel as you could tie up loads in advance and snap on as needed.
Thx for sharing. Never liked the other way when fishing the toothy ones.
Pleasure man🤙🏻
My dad used this knot 40 + year. From Serbia no eyes on hook. Mega holding weight also.
thanks for sharing...i use the regular snell..the movement makes me nervous too haha..i am going to give this a go...
Ja...this works way better hey! Tight lines!
That is why I have never put this Snell in water.i use a knot out of a fly tying book to Snell,I want to say it was a whipping knot,it is basically what's used to finish and lock a layer on a fly.i find it just about as fast and once they lock down on that hook you got to scrap em off with a razor blade.they don't go anywhere lol.i can't feel confident in this knot not backing off in the water.it may be strong,it may be a top grade knot,but I don't feel good about it.ipl stick to how I have snelled,I never have had one slip or break at the knot.
And that's just my preference,so by no means am I saying this is a bad knot.quite the opposite actually.its just my opinion,and I encourage all to explore all options to grow and develop as a fisherman.im simply describing how I have done it,and adding to this idea.what works for me may not work for you,and Visa versa.so explore options.i can count at least a half dozen ways to Snell a hook off the top of my head lol.what ever gets the job done for you,that's your best knot.
And to be clear the one I said I did not like is what is often called a knotless snell.thats the one I feel will back off in the water and I don't use.my version is similar to what he did,I just execute it differently.
Thx man daai nou n lekker knoop, gooi biekie vir ons n tjoka harder aas vir honde
Shot....ek sal so iets doen ja!
Looks goob but for me i tie 28" leaders with swivel at end . It would be really hard to wrap over the long tag end to the right which would be over 2 feet long. I give it a go and see
Thank you bro
Not mentioned in the video but see how he makes a loop with the leader (or snoot) following the line's natural memory coming off the spool. He then lays this on top of the circle hook shank so that the curvature of the hook is in line with the curvature of the leader. This will improve the action of the circle hook.
By the way this is the no nail needed nail knot. I tie the same knot with a small plastic tube wrapping from the bottom and inserting the tag into the tube then pulling out the tube leaving the tag line below the wraps then pulling on the tag and the leader. The method in the video is much better as you don't have to keep up with can little plastic tube.
awesome knoop het hom nou net gemaak baie maklik om te maak sal hom donderdag toets met ons gauteng Noord liga
Thanks 🙏
That's how I've always tied hooks on.
Fail proof!🤟🏻
@@zoolookfishing Yes, I also use it to snood 49 strand.
Nice!
Lekker knot, sal hom probeer, al ding wat moeiliker is, is om 'n vis te kry wat daai groot hoek wil vat.
Hi Xander. Can you use the same knot with wire for shark traces?
nice one, what's the best knot for joining nylon to wire, eg a bite trace...
Thanks...use a figure eight on the mono and on the wire.
sometimes an Albright knot is good but depends on wire type and line thickness.
Hi xander what size mono bite trace would you use chasing kob and also would you go Same size as your shock leader to your braid leader 👍
Hi for general kob fishing I use 0,70mm or 0,75mm diameter mono and yes its the same thickness as the short mono shock leader, that leader is only about 1,2-1,5m long and that is attached to my braid leader. You can go up to 0,9mm if the terrain is harsh and you are targeting big kob with massive baits but generally i like to use 0,75mm
@@zoolookfishing ok cheers
@@zoolookfishing also do you have a brand preference
Also looking .75mm is 50lb ?
baie dankie ,,bakgat ,,nou weet ek ook hoe..Xander
howsit bru,i see in alot of your videos you use the spheros and get it wet in the surf.Have you ever had any issues with water getting into the reel or and related issues?Keep up the great videos
Thanks man...no i havent had any issues with them what so ever... they are tough reels...i just tighten the drag after every session then soak in warm water for a few seconds. Then loosen the drag again give it a few spins and its good to go...the warm water melts the salt and drains out with any water. Thanks for watching my videos!
Zoo Look Fishing submerge jy die hele katrol onder warm water? ek sit met die saragosa 25000. Sal dit met hierdie katrol werk?
@@ruanjacobs9900 jip ek doen. Ja ek doen dit met al my katrolle...maak net jou drag vas voor jy hom submerge
great channel. coud you pls do vid on grinder set for heavier setups how you would setup casting leader to finised trace for eds and non eds.
Thanks...noted!
If you are going to snell or do a no knot, get the offset eye hooks and it will swim better.
Palomar is better for that straight eye...
Catch your drift....the hook in the video is only for illustrative purposes but for how we fish in South Africa with bait...a snell on a inline circle is better than a Palomar. Trolling a live bait I fully agree with your statement.
Middag Zander. Hoe gemaak met kleiner sirkelhoeke bv 1.0 of 2.0 wat jy nie so gemaklik kan vashou nie? Dan natuurlik daarmee saam die dunner lyn wat nie so maklik om die steel van die hoek wil draai nie maar maklik gly.
These hooks are always the best if you are serious about fishing
Nice n Storng
You can tie this knot at the end of your line as well, but it's a bit harder to learn the technique.
Naand Z,great Video
Seker dom vraag maar sal jy anraai vir KOB n dangle met n circle hoek vir kob?
Hi, g'n dom vraag nie... ja ek sal, nê! ek hengel vir kabeljou basies 90 % van die tyd met n dangle, net as ek regtig naby hoef te gooi sal ek miskien nie een gebruik nie maar dan sit ek steeds my aas onder my hoek en nie op hom nie. Maar ek verkies dangle dan weet ek as ek my aas inhak gaan my strop nie koek as ek gooi nie. Groete.
@@zoolookfishing
Baie dankie ,klink goed dan soma nog n vraag asb ek weet daar dis baie gear op die mark,ek het n lekka 12ft setup mar kort biki raad vir surf setup 13,6ft en n griner wat sal pas..
Thanks vir al die great videos
lat hulle bly kom
Kyk na die video wat ek vannand op gesit het ek is seker dit sal jou help met n aamduiding na watse kombinasie om te kyk...ek sou eerder sê 14ft met n 10 000 size katrol as na n 13ft6...dink die evo mh sal die ding doen!
@@zoolookfishing
HAHA nounet gesien na ek boodskap gestuur het...gan gou kla kyk, Baie dankie vir jou vinnige Reply..
@@johannbarnard628 👌🏻
😇
Does it work for braid
Yes it does 100%👌🏻
Sorry mag dalk n dom vraag wees. Waarvoor gebruik mens die knoop spesifiek?
Glad nie n dom vraag nie...mens gebruik dit op circle hoek. Mens snell die circle sodat hy beter in die hoek van die vis se bek kan in draai. So op enige strop wat jy n circle hoek gebruik,gebruik mens die knoop. Dit verhoog jou "hook-up rate" drasties.
@@zoolookfishing baie dankie. Nie geweet
No worries...vra dan help ek enige tyd
👆👍👍👍👍🌹🍃💜
*They are very sharp **allabout.wiki/al6x** I would order one size bigger than other circle hooks as they are smaller than the same size eagle claw and other circle hooks.*
I clicked on the link and I use that hook for light tackle
100%
Little Jetty Rockers in the background...
Probably my worst video ever! 🙈 one of my very first! I grinch when I watch it🤣
This is how I tie my snells as well. And for the same reason. All the 'easy snell' knots you can untie by simply moving the line through the eye. (K)not good.
Correct🤙🏻💪🏻
This is one..there are probably 5-6 diff ways to tie a snell.
Same thing as the knotless snell but you made it more difficult. Run the line through the face.
Wrap 7 times and run the end through the back .
Creates a trigger effect and strong knot. Not as strong as palomar tho..
Why snell when you have stronger knots like fish n fool and palomar?
because a snell on a circle hook gives you a way better hookup rate👌🏻
I seriously doubt there's a stronger knot than a well tied nail knot, which the knot displayed is properly known as. The other type of knot shown at the first is a snell knot.
I've never had the regular snell knot slip.
It won't, i just prefer this one! Every angler has his favourites👌🏻
@@zoolookfishing : I agree. Tie the knot you feel most comfortable with. I lost a couple of fish with another snell knot due to knot failure and switched over to the easy snell knot 10 years ago and haven't had a failure since. The knots didn't slip but broke. I think it was similar to the Japanese snell knot. It could be because I used lighter flourocarbon leaders because I didn't have that problem with heavy mono. Some knots work well with some lines but not with others.
You are 100% correct in everything you said above👌🏻🍻
What kinda crap is that??? Tie the knot with the line coming from the rod...
Dont fully understand what you mean...this is to tie your hook to a hook snoot...the trace will then be tied to swivel...
Oh...no you can't...its not meant to be. The style we fish in South Africa you won't ever need to tie it like that...i put this knot up for the guys fishing land based and making a trace with a hook snoot and a sinker snoot for casting...but I agree you cant tie this knot directly without a swivel.... there is a time and a place for this knot. Although there is snell knot you can tie with the line directly from the reel.
@ great...thanks man!
First of all that's the wrong type of hook to be snelling in the first place..them are strait eye circles you need octopus circle with bent back eyes of course that hook sits weird and your probably losing fish because of it
That is not the wrong hook type and I do not lose fish like that. The hook set is better as it turns in far better than a octopus, which is a crap hook unless you want to troll a bait and keep it straight, otherwise useless. Did you know different techniques work around the world?
@@zoolookfishing lol 😂 whatever u say dude..
Would be a great video without the annoying background music
Thanks! Noted! It is more about the info than the video! But i take every viewers opinion into account! Appreciated🙏🏻
The music was very low but no accounting for taste. I like the reggae music and it didn't really affect the quality of the video imo.
Please do away with the music!
Can't mute?
@chasebarnard5750 he just had to say it….
Translate to English
Nice knot, thanks for sharing. With all due respect you talk too much, the first 1:30 was a complete waste of time. Shorten this clip to 1 minute total and you will have a winner
Shot...thanks man! I appreciate the feedback!
I enjoy a bit of patter personally.
No thanks
