Alcohol may also increase the risk of cancers of the pancreas and stomach. For each of these cancers, the more alcohol you drink, the higher your cancer risk. Cancers of the mouth, throat, voice box, and esophagus: Alcohol use clearly raises the risk of these cancers. Drinking and smoking together raises the risk of these cancers even more than drinking or smoking alone.
Tying the Snell Knot. The snell knot was invented long ago when it was the only way to attach the fishing line to an eye-less hook, but many anglers still use it today. One benefit of the snell knot is that it aligns the fishing line or leader with the hook shank, resulting in a straight, solid set. Snelled hooks are often used when fishing natural baits for species such as striped bass and flounder, and fly anglers have long used the snell knot to attach tarpon streamers to heavy leaders.
Save. If you are having trouble with your fishing hooks, or are not effectively hanging on to a hooked fish, try snelling your hook. Snelled hooks are not actually hooks--snelling is an alternative way of tying the fishing line on the hook.
