HOW TO TIE A SNELL KNOT (SUPER EASY!!)

Thank you! Trying to convince hubby I can tie his hooks and lures when broken, rather than throwing away and buying new. He said he didn't know how to tie the knots onto the hook shanks, went to Youtube typed in "How to..." and up you came! Watched you, then showed him I could do it on a sewing needle! I have little hands with more dexterity. Easy peasey, wifey can do!

The overhand “Safety Knot” is called a “Stop Knot” or a “Jam Knot”. The Canadian Jam Knot or San Diego Jam Knot relies on the same concept. Haven’t seen it on a Snell until here, and it makes perfect sense! Thanks!

In England, instead of tying your safety knot, just blob it with a lighter, it’ll never come undone. Good video brother.

I hate how evrey video looked so complicated but thank God for this video I'm in pain at how easily a complicated knot can be easy with the right demonstration

I am new to catfishing and struggled to tie this knot. The way you tie this just works so much easier with my hands and I ended up with a knot I was super happy with! This video alone made me subscribe thank you!

This VID just confirms what I think! It is quicker and easier than fooling around with one of those tying contraptions. Thanks!

Finally a video with good camera angles, clear images of the line and hook, and a contrasting background so I can see exactly how it’s done. Tried this knot this morning on a 6/0 circle hook for surf fishing on the NJ shore. Perfect knot! Landed a nice Tautog as well. Thanks for the great video.

That's the way I was taught as a kid. Doesn't fall. Good video

I think I have tried every method to Snell a hook on Youtube. Your is by far the easiest. Thank you for posting.

You made this so easy - gosh, thanks!!!! I have been trying for three days after watching other videos, I did this perfectly the first time and didn't have to watch the video on my fourth hook. Appreciate you.

I thought I was the only one that tied an "insurance" knot!!! Perfect 👌

my wife and I have just started Fishing here in Turkey , great video .Great tip about the extra knot

Great video and thanks for posting. Here's hint for those who want you use the safety knot. I find it easier to tie the safety knot after I put the line through through eye and before I tie the snell knot. I do this for 2 reasons. 1) it makes the tag end easier to hold on to when tightening by gripping the safety know with my thumbnail 2) I don't have to fiddle around tying to tie the safety knot as close as possible to the snell because its already there. I use this method more on light line than heavy line. Hope it helps.

Thanks. So simple. Takes the mystery out of it. Now I'll save a few $$$ on snelled hooks and have a little extra beer $$$ ; )

thank you for a very clear easy lesson on Snelling hooks. Wonderful

Great video, so many variations of the snell out there but this one is easy, fast and the tag line is on the inside of the wraps. Have to remember line through the hookpoint side. Like your insurance overhand too. Well done y'all

I just found your snell knot tying video . It's the best and easiest way to tie the Snell Knot !

Excellent. This is (for me at least) is not only the easiest method, but it's also the cleanest looking. Thanks!

Best how to on the snell knot yet. Thanks!

That was the easiest to understand snell video I've seen. Prior to this I gave up trying to tie them. I think I can now. Thank You !!
