This is a very quick and simple rig to make, and yet very effective. What I like about this rig is that even on the boat you can whip it together in no time, and even better yet, it is very cheap to make and so ideal for those fishing on a tight budget. It offer rigidity, and the twisted double line also offer high abrasion resistance where it counts most.
This rig will work from your small lures with light leader’s right through to the heavy stuff; it swims true and allows your lure to swim well.
1. Materials:
- Your leader material (I have used 300lb mono for the tutorial)
- Your hook (I have used an 8/0 Tuna Bend)
- 1 Aluminium or copper crimp to suit your leader
2. Cut your leader to length, wrap it nicely and leave some loose to work with; then slide your crimp on.
3. Leaving enough length to do your twist, feed your leader through the bottom of the hook eye wrap around the hook shank and then feed the leader through the top of the hook eye.
