Common Snell
Step by Step.

Make this configuration in the line against the hook, threading the eye if you wish.
	Pull the loop over to form a new loop and wrap the shank of the hook and the tag.
The knot should look like this.
	Continue wrapping the shank until the preferred number of wraps is in place.
Pull on the top and the bottom line until the knot is formed on the shank.
	If the snell is formed down a little from the eye, a separation from a roughly turned or sharp eye are reduced.

This book is considered the "Knot Bible", and should be essential reading
for anybody who has lost a fish because of a failed knot!
