OOPS... I found my mistake. I wasn't wrapping the line around the other
parts of the line properly.

I now know what to do and all it will take is practice.

i've been trying to make my own snell hooks to save some money and i am
running into a little problem.

I've been following the directions on the following site:

http://www.marinews.com/fishing/Knot...k_hooksnel.htm

the problem is that the knot seems to only be held by gravit or a pulling
force. i can easily undo it by pushing it back out of the eye of the hook.
is this normal or is there some way of securing it that i am not seeing
from
this site???

thanks again...
