Stronger than MOST knots under certain conditions. It also limits the movement of the hook to dome degree in specific bait presentations . Eliminates abrasion on hook eye when fighting large fish on lighter tackle .
A good snell will allow u to land big tough fish whereas a simple knot may weaken under the pressure ! It will not move so abrasion on hook eye eliminated .
