so to get to the point the put the loop throught the front of the hook eye and it will be better for striking the fish????

yes i dont understand thats why i said im confused to what u mean... i said the hook sits like a snell knot would if it was a snell knot. so thats what you mean. i looked at a snell knot when i read your first post. still didnt answer me so is the video right or your way right? ive being fishing all year m8 but i have being using crimps and beads and half blood knots to make the snoods/rigs but why would i use them when there is no need? just do dropper loops and surgeon loop for weight?

No, you don't understand the point I was making. The knot doesn't matter so much as the position it holds the hook in when a fish pulls against it. Research Snell knots on hooks and why they work then you will understand my comment and the point I was asking about. A dropper loop is just fine - just go fishing or you won't catch anything. I caught nothing this past summer because I never got around to going fishing.

im thinking of doing both ways in a 2 hook rig, one in the front and the other in the back?

[montymagic1987]

@CaneFu hmmm... so what is better for hooking fish? im confused now, snell is done with a single piece of line? no? or just through the front and around hook is a snell knot? or the hook sit's like a snell knot u mean?

@CaneFu Yeah you can do that too.

It seems to me that if you stuck the line in the front of the eye first (rather than the back as you did) it would be similar to a snelled hook and make for more hookups with fish. Am I correct?
