Alright what's going on guys? So we've posted a video the other day where I tied a snail knot just kind of be rolling the video and I've gotten a lot of questions actually over the past year, couple of years having gotten a ton on like each video but on every other video or so I keep getting questions about how to tie a certain knot, snail knot, which knot I'm tying. I get that a lot. I made a video a few years ago where it was like one of my first ever YouTube videos whenever I had a terrible camera. I'm still pretty bad at filming myself but back then I was even worse. I'm gonna take y'all through the knots that I tie today. Pretty much I tie three knots all the time. Even for like a drop shot I tie the same knot I do on a jig. I just have you know a couple extra taggings. And the knot that I tie for fluorocarbon is called a double pitson. That's one that I get asked that a ton which knot is that what do you call that? My marshals are always asking me if I have co-angels in term they're always asking me if I'm fishing with a buddy sometimes they'll even ask me. It's called a double pitson. There's a really good video on online but I'm probably about to try to make one. That's also really good but it might not be quite as good as the other one this online but I'm gonna take my little A's jig right here and I'm gonna show y'all how I tie this on. If I can find a pair of scissors so excuse me. Handy Danny scissors. So I've got it tied on already. This is a jig I've actually called a bunch of fish on. Come on focus focus I got it on my face. So I've got it on my hand up like a new in some kind of tutorial. This jig has called a ton of fish actually a whole bunch. So I'm gonna try to show y'all the exact way that I tie this knot if I can keep that in focus. So bounce back bounce back to focus in on me. Let's see. I'm gonna cut this knot off. This is 20 pounds Sunline Shooter that I it's like the line that I keep on the HGA at all times. I keep it on seven foot three point blank heavy fast and then if you are questioning about that it's a Shimano Matanium 8-1. So I'm going to blur my face now and try to show y'all how I tie this jig. So see if we can make it work. Let's see let's see. Okay it's in there. I always come in over the hook. Don't know if it makes any difference at all. That's just the way that I come in. Come on come on come on on my hand. Focus focus. Okay come in over turn it around running right back through. Come on. Still got a little squiggly part. Okay take this up. I got a loop on one side and a tag in and a main line on the other up. He caught my face the camera caught my face. I got a loop on one side and a tag in and a main in on the other side. Here's the loop right here in this hand. So I wrap it around my right finger. They'll line in the tag in right here on the right finger. Got the loop on my left finger. Drop the jig on the floor. Drop the jig on the floor. I tie this knot a hundred times a day but I'm holding it outside of my comfort zone. Okay jig back. Come on focus focus on the jig. Okay line through turn around run it back through. Just like most people do with like a palomar knot, improve clench. A bunch of knots where you just run it through twice. Come on. Okay give me a little bit of slack. Get back. Okay loop main line tag in. Wrap it over. So now I made a loop with the line. I've got the tag I've got the loop over here in my left hand. Wrap it around three times. One two three. Run it through. The hole you made on top. It's very important to go through the hole. That's up here on the very top. And I'm explaining that to y'all in just a second. Pull it out. Wet it a little bit and then pull it down on it all down. What that does is gives you three tag ends. I guess I got it close to my face. Gives you three tag ends to cut. Now the reason I use this is because whenever I go through, whenever I take that loop and put it through the top of the knot like that on that hole is on the top, it pulls itself down and the part that's wrapped, you know, connects directly onto the line tie. And the part that's going through itself is on top of the knot instead of underneath the knot. So whenever you set the hook, it cinches down tighter. Whereas if you tie a polymer knot, it wraps around itself. So whenever you set the hook, it will actually cinch down tighter and burn the line that's inside the other line. Now if you have no problem with breaking off a polymer knot on floor carbon line, do not change. I'm not telling you to change if you're not having problems. There's no reason to change. But I was having a ton of problems. One of my first shorties of floor carbon line had a co-aimner tell me, hey try this knot. He got him to show me how to tie it after we was off the water for that day and I started trying it after that after the term. I didn't try it during the term, but I tried it after the term. And to me, it made a huge difference. It made an entire world of difference. So moving on to the next knot, this is the most popular knot. I only tie it on braid those. Right here I've got a killer geocolour-spro pop and drop. And I'm going to show you all exactly how I tie a polymer knot, which is the simple knot, super simple. I only tie it on braid pretty much. Every once in a while I'll get lazy and tie it on floor carbon, usually break one off. But that's, you know, to be expected. So same way, run it through, run it back through the eye. So just like earlier, I've got a loop on one side. I've got the tag ends in my left hand and I always switch hands. I like to have the tag end and the main line in my right hand and then have the loop in my left hand right here. So you just tie an overhand knot. It's all you do. Cross over. Just like you're trying to tie the most basic knot you learned at the Boy Scouts. And then you turn, put the line, put the frog through the loop. That's on the, that came from tying the overhand knot. And that's it. Well, a little bit. I even wet it with braid. Sint it down the best you can. I take it and cut me a little bit longer of a tag end than most people. And then I'll actually take that tag end and burn it with a lighter so that the tag end does not free and actually weaken the knot. So now that hunter's here, we might stop the camera and check the focus and see if the focus is good because I do not believe it's being good at all. So give me one second. Alright, so now I'm going to show you all the knot that I tie every time I'm flipping. Y'all see me flipping a ton, whether it be more carbon, braid and grass, whatever. This router here, I actually have 22 pound fluorocarbon. And I have the three alt gamma-cottzu G power hook. It's a really new, new hook that is one of the most high demand hooks on the market right now. Let me show you all. One of the most important things with snelling the hook is right here underneath the line tie. Right when my thumb is, it needs to be soldered and very, very smooth. Or if your snale knot is going to be weakened, if there's any kind of a rough edge around that. So, you want to be really, oh you know, sure, whenever you're snelling the hook that you're using a really high quality hook that's soldered right here and you know, very smooth for your knot. So you just turn it just like this. You run the line in over the hook point through the hook, through the line tie. So over the hook point, that way it'll pop out correctly. Give yourself a little bit of slack. Lay the slack down the shank of the hook just like I did just there. Fold it over, make yourself a loop. And then right there at the baitkeeper you want to, you know, roll it around. Upwards, cascading upwards. I'll do it anywhere from seven to nine times. Sometimes if I'm flipping 25 really big line, I'll only do it, you know, five times or so. Let me get that back in focus. So you can see me rolling it up the hook, fix it up and make it real pretty. All right. So I did it like, I don't know, six, seven times right there. Then you got your line tie that was coming, your tagging and that was coming off right here. Come on show focus focus. All right. There you got a loop and the tag in. You run the tag in through the loop, pull it down the shank of the hook, pull your main line, wet it a little bit, pull your tag in and then pull your main line one more time. And then it'll get in place. Let me cut the tag in off. I'll just leave the tag in and then show y'all what it does. So right there, if you can see it's a half ounce tighten tungsten, whenever I set the hook in the roof of that fish's mouth, it's going to kick that hook up every single time. It's going to kick it up outwards with the hook point kicking out. So if you can see that, that is why I tie a snail knot, whatever I'm flipping. There is mixed reviews, even on the lead series, there's mixed reviews on the snail knot. Some people tied, some people don't, personally, I tied. But I've lost fish flipping. In the last term when I fished, I actually lost a bunch of fish flipping. So I mean, sometimes you go through spells where you just lose a bunch. I feel like I lose more whenever I don't snail. So personally, I always snail. That's just what I do. So that's the three knots that I tie. I mean, getting a lot of questions, especially on that snail knot. So hopefully I did that good enough for y'all to pick it up. Better go watch the video and see if you can actually see it. I might have to refilm it, but appreciate you guys watching. Leave me a comment. You got any more ideas or any more questions that I can make a video about. I'll try to keep up with y'all. Appreciate it guys. Hit that subscribe button. It helps a ton and leave me a comment. I don't care if it's positive or negative. We need the comments. Hate comments are probably better because it sparks discussion. So whatever you want to do in the comments, I appreciate it. We'll see you on the next video.
