Title: Brain Fart
Post by: Skolmann on July 07, 2008, 10:18:52 AM

So I'm attempting to tie a tandem rig (2 hooks snelled about 3"s apart) last night & I had the ultimate brain fart. I completely forgot how to snell a hook (something that I've done millions of times). I mean I completely was clueless. At first a slight panic set in because 1-thinking this can't be happening and 2-my family has bee bustin' my nuts the past 2 weeks saying I have CRS Syndrome (Can't Remember Sheet). I try for about 15 minutes to snell a hook with no luck. I then decide to look on the web-but everyone has a different version & to be honest reading those instructions is like reading Chinese directions on how to build a piece of Swedish furniture. So I sit down and calmly go through the hand motions, it started to come back to me. I tied 2 perfect snells & decided to leave it at that. Went to my work bench this morning and tied another 2 perfect snells.

Haven't had a massive brain fart like that in a long time........

It happens to all of us, you do something all the time then for some reason you forget how to do it. ??? CRS sucks.

 rofla That exact thing happened to me over the winter!  Only I was in the middle of tying a bunch of hooks when it happened!  I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.  So I just walked away from it for a little while.  When I started tying again it all came right back to me.  Weird and scary at the same time! ;D

That's not a concern yet. Wait till you get to the point where you are going to clip the tag end of the line and clip the running line instead, twice.  ;D
Clip the wrong part, re-tie, and clip the freakin wrong part again.  rgmn rgmn

 but in reality, i cant tie a snell to save my life. just never works out for whatever reason. maybe its the chinese directions for swedish furniture philosophy
