The Snell
Fishing Knot
The Snell Knot
provides a strong connection when fishing with bait and using a
separate length of leader. You can only use a Snell Knot with a
leader.
|
SNELL KNOT |
|
 |
1. Insert one end of the leader through the hook's eye,
extending 1 to 2 inches past the eye.
Insert the other end of the leader through the eye in the
opposite direction pointing toward the barb of the hook.
Hold the hook and leader ends between your thumb and
forefinger of left hand. Leader will hang below the hook
in a large loop. |
| |
 |
2. Take the
part of the large lower loop that is closest to the eye
and wrap it over the hook shank and both ends of the
leader toward the hook's barb. |
| |
|
 |
3. Continue
to wrap for 7 or 8 turns and hold wraps with left hand.
Grip the end of the leader that is through the eyelet with
your right hand and pull it slowly and steadily. Hold the
turns with your left hand or the knot will unravel.
When knot is almost tight, slide it up against the eye of
the hook. Grip the short end lying along the shank of the
hook with a pair of pliers. Pull this end and the
standing line at the same time to completely tighten the
knot. |

|
1. Bring the free end of the line
up through the eye of the hook.
Give yourself about a foot of free
line on top to work with.
2. Take the free end back, behind and then under the straight line.
3. Bring the free end back
over the top to form a full loop. Keep loops
fairly loose at this point.
4. Continue looping the free end around the straight line in the same
direction.
Form about four loops.
5. With the free end coming from the bottom of a turn, pass it
between the eye and the first loop.
6. Slowly pull out all slack.
Then
pull tightly and trim off the end. |

the line through the eye of hook, swivel or lure. Double back and make 5
turns around the standing line.
Hold the coils in place; thread end of line through the first loop above the
eye, then through the big loop as shown. |
 |
2.
Hold the tag end and standing line while coils are pulled up. Take care
that coils are in spiral, not lapping over each other. Slide tight against
the eye. Clip tag end. |

The Trilene
Fishing Knot
The Trilene
Knot is a strong reliable connection that resists slippage and
premature failures.
The Trilene Knot is an all-purpose connection to be used
in joining monofilament to swivels, snaps, hooks and artificial
lures. The knot's unique design and ease of tying yield
consistently strong, dependable connections while retaining
85-90% of the original line strength. The double wrap of mono
through the eyelet provides a protective cushion for added
safety.
