The reason is simple Max - if you keep ask someone the question "why" - it exposes what they know and understand and not a lot of people can stand being asked "why". My videos are based on a simple premise...I answer the "why" before you ask it.
I have some big gun mustad hook 🪝 that I found a long time ago at my local fishing pier its been about 2 years that I found them there I'm not Sher what size it is but I'm going to practice doing the asset hook tying with them thank you very much for taling use abut how the Hook does thank you very much for teaching me new things about fishing love you kit what is trolling I have never done that when I fish at my local fishing pier
You can practice on them, but they aren't really jigging hooks, its best to practice using the right hooks so you get used to the lengths when you measure them against the jigs.
This is the exact same concept when tieing a snell knot. The line exits the front of the hook/ or point side. The basic 'test' you see a lot of people do is to drop the rig into a plastic cup/ tube. When you pull the line out record the hookup ratio where it snags the lip as it exits. From your teachings in jigging the nail knot is used which will work the same as a snell. In normal bait fishing I find hook shape and design determins which knot will work better, snell or a uni. My general rule, if the hook eye is bent back its best to use a snell knot, if its straight i use a uni.
@TheFishingKit the point is the action of the line pulling on the hook is the same concept as to why many love using snell knots. It's more common to use a snell with circle hooks but I would say any hook with a eye that's layed back to the rear benifits. Jigging is your area I only know from what you have shown in the many videos you have made. I am going on a fishing trip in November- December where I there will be some deeper water and stronger currents. I have a few slow and fast jigs to try out for the fun of it. Where I am from live baits/ bait is what everyone does. Soft plastics is very popular style of fishing but I am looking at minimum of 30m to 80m with a fairly strong current. It's going to be hard to get a soft plastic down that far, I have looked at making a ebing rig but sourcing the right wire seems hard.
Yo, I can't tell you how many videos I've watched on how to tie assist hooks and nobody has explained that I totally get it thank you so much

are you familiar with assist hooks? if you are not, this is just an illustration as assist hooks are mostly bound and not really knotted.

Kind of a dofferent dynamic than with livebait but yea once you get in on it and get into the nuts and bolts, you will find the differences.
