We have a locally brewed beer called 'Sneck Lifter'. (Jennings brewery Cockermouth) It is supposed to refer to when people were a bit short on cash but had just enough to buy a beer to get them through the door (lift the 'sneck/ door latch) and take their place in the pub.

 

Ah bless, the poor girl signing "Cockermouth" on the BBC when they had he floods still brings a smile to my face.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

jaa,

 

Fine post. The word "snecked" or "un-snecked" does not appear in the English language. (Oxford Dictionary).

 

Would your referrence be to "barbed"?

 

Anyone but jaa have a clue??

(p.s. "sheck" is a latch or lock (sheck the door)

 

 

A snecked hook is one which has the point slightly out of alignment or offset to the shank.

Interesting thread. Used to catch 'cricket scores' of redfin (Australian term) during the hot summers in NSW, particularly with big thunderheads coming up from the west at Copeton Dam. However, in a gazetted trout stream in northern New England, (Glen Innes), I used gambusia, lip hooked to a 2/0 single hook, gently cast out to the edge of weed beds and catch big, 2 kg redfin. Indeed, lots of small reddies would attack the offering. But also many 1 and 2 kg fish were also attracted.
