    That’s exactly what it is, the “knotless knot”. It’s commonly used in carping to tie hair rigs.

    Looks like a common knotless knot to me. Most of the carp anglers are using it here in europe.

    I have posted a video on the knot you are looking for under the name

    Tying Eyeless Fish Hooks

    It does not require both ends of the line so can be attached directly to your fishing line

    Snell knot From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Snell knot
    Category: Hitch
    The snell knot is a hitch knot used to attach an eyed fishing hook to fishing line. It passes through the eye of the hook, but primarily attaches to the shaft. It is a very secure knot, but because it only easily tied using the near end as the working end, it is only used to attach a hook to a leader, rather than directly to the main line.

    No its quite simple I was looking for a knot for eyeless hooks and a fishing book mentioned the method of tying eyeless hook was called snelling.

    So I go looking for visuals on snelling to find two examples claiming to be snells but cannot be used on eyeless hooks therefore cannot really be snells.

    I understand how you have come to call it a snell, because everybody around you calls it that.

    Only the originator gives out its name, you modify the knot you modify the name.

    Every commercial …
    Every commercial fisherman who fishes snapper in New Zealand has used this knot for the last 30 years, they all call it a snell knot and always have. It may be slightly different than the snell used for eyeless hooks – but is is a snell nevertheless.

    Are you in some kind of a purity of snell knot association or do you have some other claim to being a keeper of all things snell?

  16. cupiddstunt Says:

    Sorry I have to …
    Sorry I have to disagree this is not snelling a hook.

    At best its a modification of the snell

    Snelling was first used to attach eyeless hooks to line how would you snell an eyeless or spade end hook with this method?

    Impossible

    Really when you pass yourself off as a professional you should make sure your info is correct

    In the snell both the leader and the tab end are held under all the wrappings at best this could only be described as a poor or maybe lazy/quick/abbreviated snell.

    If you are not using any swivels or clips then use a different knot or tie the trace to the end of your fishing line

    The hook is snelled to the trace (snood) and then tied to the mainline via a clip or swivel

    Yes. Generally you would snell a hook to a leader then clinch to a swivel. Check out a carolina rig or similar.

    Im guessing you tie it to a swivel or something. And since you have to have a long tag line coming out of the front of the eye, then you wouldnt be able to tie this knot with a hook on the end of your line that is spooled on your rod then right?
