“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.
