From what I've been reading I guess there is two ways to snell a hook.
I guess I use the traditional way,I'll take the tag end & put it through the eye with a 6" over hang then loop it @ mid shank.Then holding the leader flush along the shank Take the tag end & wind it row over row heading back up to the eye,leaving a series of spirals.Take the tag end & slide it under the rows and out the bottom.
With both hands holding each of the ends of leader I'll pull evenly making sure the line doesn't bind up on the shank,you'll see the knot come together.
I cut the tag end 1/8" just below the knot.
Im a big fan on florocarbon leaders I think there is a huge advantage by using this while fishing the Canal.
Not to mention when snelling a hook on an off set hook like a Gamukatsu octopus I think there is a difference in hook set vs a live bait hook.
How about you do you do the same?
