Wrap the mainline around the hook 5-7 times(depending on the line being used), then pass the mainline back through the bottom of the hook and sinch tight. Then I either use a dab of crazy glue to prevent it from backing off, or I tie a simple overhand knot to the hook eye after the snell is complete. This works well for preventing a backup of the snell.

What do you mean by snell? What would you use this for?

Always wondered what people meant by "snelled hooks"

beginner question but gotta find out!
