Snelling?
 

Do most of you folks snell your own hooks?

I snell a bunch at home for blackfish.It saves time when the bite is on and you lose a rig.

Re: Snelling?
 

Yes its simple after some practice and doesn't make sense not to.

That's interesting. I was taught to hold the hook part, put the line through the eye and wrap the shaft starting at the eye and moving towards the hook.

I always wet the line before pulling everything tight.

I wish I knew how to put stuff on You tube....!

I do a lot of bottom fishing, and got tired of paying for rigs all the time. So yepper, I snell my own. Youtube is a wonderful thing.

I know there are many diff ways to snell a hook, and this is a new one for me! Never seen the line go through the eye twice. 2 things I didn't like about your method was when using heavy leader like 50 or 60lb there isn't enough room in the eye of the hook and secondly you still have to precut your leader lengths. What I like about the method I linked, you can snell a hook onto the end of your leader without having to precut them, so if I'm just using a spool of 50lb mono I can just continue to make rigs right on up the spool with minimal waste.
