Snelled Circle hooks

[MikeV.]

I hate to sound like an idiot but can someone post how to snell a line to a hook. It sounds dumb but I always crimped everything and I dont know how to do it. a diagram if possible would be great. Thanks

Here you go.

What are folks thoughts on octopus vs. straight shanked hooks for snelling?

That's about as slick as can be found! It isn't a knot, like a Palomar would be. It's a pressure knot like a nail knot. The more pressure applied the stronger it becomes.
