Re: Snelling?
the easiest fastest snell in the world: you take the hook hold it at the bend pointed up, pass the line through the eye towards where you're holding it and pinch it with the hook. wrap it up how ever many times you can depending on the line/hook size. then just pass the tag end through the little loop you're pinching with the hook. wet it and snug it up pulling tag and standing ends slowly.
it's hands down the easiest and quickest snell, but definitely not the strongest, not even close. I use it to snell octopus hooks for whacky rigging senkos for largemouth bass and it gets the job done if you need a quick snell (good for bent eye hooks to keep the force of the hook set in line with the hook shank and gives it a little pivot to increase hook up ratio.
i'm sorry i can't find a picture or video of this snell so i hope the explanation is enough, real easy once you see it.
