A method for attaching detachable snells to a fishing line while the line system is being set out from a moving vessel at sea. The snell and the line have cooperating coupling members consisting of a peg with stop studs rotatably attached to the line and a radially elastic ring attached to the snell, the ring being detachably fastened to the peg by being pressed down into a locked position behind the stop studs. The line is drawn through an apparatus having a peg orienting means, and the pegs pass a discharge opening on a ring magazine where each peg is brought into engagement with the central opening of a discharged ring and carries the ring along with it to pass between two converging surfaces whereby the ring is pressed down into a locked position on the peg. The converging surfaces consist of a pressure surface for the ring provided with a guide/clearance groove for the peg, and a backstop surface for the peg. The discharge opening is arranged at the forward edge of the pressure surface at the entrance to the converging surfaces and is adjacent to a ring feed regulator in which the primary plane of the ring forms an acute angle relative to the path of advancement for the peg such that the peg enters the ring and carries it along, as mentioned above.
