“Snelling” is essentially a Uni-Knot tied
around a hook shank. Where a hook has an offset eye, this knot allows for an
efficient “straight pull” of the hook’s point.
(1) Thread the line through the hook eye about six inches.
Form a loop and hold it against the shank of the hook.
(2) Make five or six turns through the loop and around the
hook shank.
(3) Close the knot and tighten by pulling the standing
line in one direction and the hook in the other. Trim the tag end.
