Making snoods

[-JP-]

Has anyone tried just making a slip not instead of using fuel line? I'm sure there is a reason people use the fuel line. Going to start making my trot line this weekend and was looking for a easier way to make the snoods!

It may be easier for you to make a slip knot than to make a traditional snood with hose, however the EASY ends there. When you bait and unbait the line EASY won't be the adjective you'll likely be using. Slip knots have been used for decades; they are not the new thing under the Sun. The time you spend now making a modern snood will reap rewards every time you use the line.

Prove it to yourself and make a few slip knot snoods..... then try them. Compare them to a regular snood. Do this before you spend a great deal of time making a few hundred. Then decide which is EASY.

Make your life easier and stick with the fuel line :)

I would refer you to How to make a trotline by Fisheyed.

I starting using snoods with the rubber fuel line a few years ago and haven't looked back.

The bait/unbait time compeared to slip knots isn't even close.

Like Jerry said, the easy ends with the knot. You only fight with snoods once, when you make them. After that, they're great!!
