Abstract: A snell for connecting a fishhook to a line or leader. The snell, a strand of nylon or like material, is formed with a hook connector at one end and a line connector or eye at the other end as a unitary structure. The hook connector provides a socket to receive and hold the shank end of a hook. The line connector is formed with a passageway commencing at its extended end and exiting from the side of the connector. This passageway receives the end of a line which is threaded through the passageway, knotted and secured thereinto. The mode of manufacture of this snell is to form the same by molding the strand and connectors as a unit. The strand may be subsequently drawn to increase its strength and to reduce its diameter.
