    In England, instead of tying your safety knot, just blob it with a lighter, it’ll never come undone. Good video brother.

      A lighter to your fishing knot/line? Uhmmm. O heck no

    • @JACK-el7ok
      @JACK-el7ok 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Fishing line ,monofilament should never use a flame , it breaks down and weakens the whole line as the heat dissipates down the line, your eye might not see it ,but it weakens it. Hell the sunlight / heat over time weakens fishing line

      I just use a fast super glue instead of a safety knot. I usually tie up leaders before I go fishing.

      Heat the end of cut piece only. Melts to a little mushroom head. You dont heat main line at all. All my knots if i have time i heat the end cut pieces

    Finally a video with good camera angles, clear images of the line and hook, and a contrasting background so I can see exactly how it’s done.
    Tried this knot this morning on a 6/0 circle hook for surf fishing on the NJ shore. Perfect knot! Landed a nice Tautog as well.
    Thanks for the great video.

    Great video and thanks for posting.
    Here's hint for those who want you use the safety knot. I find it easier to tie the safety knot after I put the line through through eye and before I tie the snell knot.
    I do this for 2 reasons.
    1) it makes the tag end easier to hold on to when tightening by gripping the safety know with my thumbnail
    2) I don't have to fiddle around tying to tie the safety knot as close as possible to the snell because its already there. I use this method more on light line than heavy line.
    Hope it helps.

    I’ve smelled hooks like that and still do for the past thirty five years with fifty pound leader , the only difference is when I draw that snell down I put the bend of the hook around an 8 penny galvanized nail that I drove into my bench about two thirds or more and pull tight . I’ve never had a snell problem never slipped either .
