They tie up really well. Can take the snell down far enough to insure the eggs stay close to the point but clear enough to allow a clean hook set, well clean pull tight anyway, whatever you call it.
I get 25 wraps before tying in the egg knot snell. I think they turned out well and will allow me to keep my bait in the strike zone/slot without ripping off the eggs every time i think I have a bite.
Only bad thing is it looks like it will be 2 weeks before the rivers drop below my front door so it will be a while before they become tested. Oh well, winter run steelhead is supposed to be good and maybe have some late Coho in there when ad if the river drop to fishable levels.
