This little trick make the easiest snell knot nearly fail-proof!
The knotless knot is by far the easiest way to snell a hook. However, if improperly tied when using mono, people have had it fail. The failure lies is not having enough wraps around the shank of the hook, and then the tag end pulls through the knot, causing a failure.
Common sense says that more wraps=more friction, which in turn makes the knot more resistant the failure.
The other important step to the fail-proof knotless knot shown in this video is the figure-8 knot tied in the tag end. This figure 8 knot creates a stopper or jam knot. Even in the event that the knot starts to slip, it would be extremely difficult for the knot to fail, as this stopper knot would have to pull through every single wrap around the shank of the hook, which is extremely unlikely.
Despite complains of failure, many of us use this knot in our fishing do to how fast and easy it is to tie. When tied right, you can virtually eliminate the possibility of the knot failing.
So when it comes down to it, tie a stopper knot first, and use 10+ wraps around the shank of the hook!
