Tog Poll: Do U Snafu?

[Scoundrel]

I usually use a single but would like to know what a true slider looks like if it any different from what i use.
I snell a hook, and then slide another hook down before tying a nail knot. Is this the right way or am i missing something.

That's it, except I don't understand the nail knot. Most people tie some sort of loop on the end of the leader.

WOW! ....and to think, not even half the $hit talking in this thread would have been TYPED, if ya had to say it face to face.

.......and for the record, I'm such a goober, I still have Virginia style, single hook, red bead rigs in my tackle bag........

If you tie the snafu correctly, with the right stiff stick leader, it will not twist.

To me the slider twists alot more after some use. For smaller baits it seems pretty good. Still love the snafu though. Just aheads up that either will negate a world record fish as there are two hooks on it

Hit search, type snafu rig, look in the blackfish help thread if this cut and paste does not work

Lots of ways to rig up. I generally make a loop at the end of my mono leader about 10-12" long and tie two regular overhand knots aka Surgeon's loop. http://www.animatedknots.com/surgeon...matedknots.com

Slip sinker on by placing end of loop through eye of sinker then around bottom and tighten.

I fish with my own presnelled hooks and snafu rigs which have a loop in them:
Attachment 5814

You basically "pinch" or fold the line of the Surgeon's Loop about 3" above the sinker:
Attachment 5815

This now formed loop goes inside the loop of your presnelled hook or rig:
Attachment 5816

Now run hook(s) through the pinched loop and pull snug while still holding on:
Attachment 5817

Take sinker while holding on to the loop and make an overhand knot around it with sinker&Surgeon's loop:
Attachment 5818

Tighten and done.

Height of rig will depend on where you're fishing. Sometimes higher is necessary.

One of many ways to rig up. Try a few and go with what produces for ya
