    Unisnell or regular/crimped loop or perfection loop

    On your white marlin or "DINK" stuff. When you snell you hook, which snell do you use the regular (bottom pic) or the unisnell? On the connection end do you crimp the loop or tie a perfection loop?

    U use the regular snell and I tie the perfection loop.
    I use the regular snell cause I can snell up to 400lb using that method of snelling.
    I use the perfection loop cause I can tie them faster then I can crip them.

    I use the regular snell and crimp the connection end. We never go higher the 80lb on the leader.

    It is alot harder to snell a circle hook then a J. I feel like my fingers are cut off at the knuckles. Im out of practice or the cold weather has me slowed way down.

    I'm not familiar with a unisnell.

    I like to tie it on the shank...pull tight ...then pass tag through the eye and adjust the knot. Reason for this.....if the eye is not bent, you kink the leader pulling it through. And that doesn't look professional, even for a rock fishermen like me

    I've always used the traditional snell, Pitchbait it might be easier for you with the circles
