Similar concept I think to winding ' plain' strings (Two or three highest depending on gauge)against the post of the geared tuner on a guitar .

It is actually a knotless knot - yes, you are on it.

The line lays flat not the shank and the wraps hold the line against that tightly. One loop holds it all in place. I have seen people tie it by hand but I require a tyer to make it happen.

I asked Ken Reinard(The Colonial Angler) at this booth if they used a snell knot and he told me it was similar. He showed me the tied hook and it looked like a tag end was left that was cinched somehow against the shaft of the hook . What was the knot used Johnny?

I think they were happy but the fish they had to eat were foul-tasting but welcome. The secret they kept was an early Shad migration which they mislead the redcoats into thinking was 3 weeks later on in the Winter. There was in fact a plan in place to block the waterways so with nets so that no fish could get up to the troops. Since the Brittish were preparing their nets to block the migration (that had already slipped past them), the "fake edition" of the Farmer's Almanac - paid off. The Brittish literally got schooled - and the troops of the Revolution were fed proteins and valuable fish oils. Now that is course fishing.
