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.
Isn't this the one in the video Gerry posted on this thread?
