SNELL
KNOT
Uses The Snell Knot allows the leader, or trace, to
be directly tied to a baited hook.
|
Tying it: The
Snell knot can only be tied with a trace or leader as both ends
are used to tie the knot. When tightening the knot, hold the
turns under your fingers to ensure they snug down neatly.
Advantages: The Snell Knot is claimed to provide a reliable connection which preserves the strength of the line - particularly if the thickness of the eye is greater than the line diameter. |
