>>955166I forgot Snell knot for bait hooks and eyeless hooks.
>>955170>>955172>>955177>>955187>>955193>>955196>>955201To each their own, but each knot has its purpose which directly affects the lure/hook and how it moves and applies force to the line. Snaps and such are not used for some lures simply because they add too much weight and/or adversely affect the action of the lure. Much of n/ZnkB9jUw's tackle isn't affected by snaps and such.
For instance, if I need to tie on a wee tiny ultra light lure that has action it imparts on itself, I use a double surgeon's loop. If the lure it large and unaffected by a snap, I'll use a double clinch knot. If the leader to main line knot is outside the pole's eyes when reeled in I'll use a uni-uni knot. If the knot must be reeled past the eyelets I'll use an FG knot to help with casting. I also use uni-uni knots for making sabiki rigs and similar 3-ways rigs.
