2010年1月31日 · I'm not sure what hook you are using but I have the best luck with an offset eye when using a snell knot. I had a little hard going at first too with a straight eye and since a good friend corrected me, an offset eye circle hook with a snell knot and 60 lb mono leader is all I use.

2019年12月4日 · I snell my circle hooks and palomar on everything else. The palomar is good on braid and mono. I have total confidence in my knots/line selection and that is important. BTW, this system has been tested for years by me and others on large fish (50-200lbs) offshore also.

2015年9月17日 · I used to snell all of my hooks, even straight eye TC DACH. It worked fine for smaller fish, but it cost me several larger blues, due to the knot sliding up the shank of the hook and getting cut by gap in the eye of the hook. I think it is a great knot, but it …

2016年4月19日 · All personal preference on how you snell, but I definitely think its much better to do it yourself then buy pre-snelled rigs. Buy the line, hooks, and swivels you want.

2008年6月3日 · hey yall,i have heard people talk about a leader tieing machine that they have made to snell hooks at a very fast rate,this would help me so much if sum one could post a pic and instructions on how to make one if any one out there has.thanx -kenny
