Assist Hook Techniques

[@peterosko5040]

A siwash-style tail-attached hook simplifies fishing vs assist hooks on the nose. Also, a tail-attached hook permits the lure to be cast or trolled in addition to being jigged. Versatility is key. Just try placing a hook on the nose and one on the tail...most fish will be hooked on the tail hook. Capt Pete

To minimise bite offs, i attach 5 or 6 split rings (bracelet) with the last one being a solid ring on the top of the jig and then tie my leader to the solid ring.

[@BlueWaterTactics]

The "plastic thing" it stiffens the hook/line attach point to help the hook from turning back toward the line attachment point - also provides a some abrasion protection...

Nice info of assist hook technique

The cord is usually made from Aramid-fibers aka Kevlar. It won't melt up to 300°C. The core is often made from PVDF (Fluorocarbon) it will melt at 175°C. If you set your hot-air fan right, you're safe..

[@SyakirIshak]

hey dude, nice vid. anyway, your last picture showed your bearing swivel and split ring, but what's the purpose of that solid ring attached to it? i assume you are using a snap swivel at the end of your leader and snap it to the solid ring?

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

You can use the steam from a hotwatercooker to shrink the tube! It's better for the cord and after you can make a cup of tea ;D

[@2derekjeter2]

why do jigs have two loops one on each end of the jig? i imagine you can add a treble hook to the other end? that would mean three total hooks for the jig right?

[@BlueWaterTactics]

I wish - we don't have many rock piles here - mostly wrecks and oil rigs around here If you get them caught in a wreck - most times you lose them - but we lose them 20 to 1 on fish though t- barracuda, kingfish and wahoo will bite though mono or fluro leader like butter (wire leader seems to reduce the action on the jig too much so we dont use often)

[@jman3336]

where did you get the shrink wrap? also, where did you get those sissors?

[@magoutdoorxtvt8972]

good tips

nice video

[@BlueWaterTactics]

Yes - the glow in the dark ones work well - be forwarned - 600 feet is deep - get a light but strong graphte rod and 16 size reel with braid - it's HARD work to jig at that depth - it can't be done with mono line or a big 20 to 30 class reel you will work youre selve to death...good luck

- por favor,alguem poderia traduzir pra mim em português. gracias..tank you.

[@WestSidaFeLife]

thank you very much sir.do you know if u could vertical jig in 400-600 feet?i have been trying to vertical jig that deep when my dad fishes for snappers,anyfish living that deep would take the jig?

[@thappongjunumporn1124]

👍👍👍

At 6:45, I’m wondering what the purpose of the “O” ring is for. It doesn’t appear to be attached to the jig. Can you elaborate?

[@BlueWaterTactics]

thats where you tie the leader..

[@ap4802]

Split ring to jig, o ring to split ring??? Then line to O ring? I think I figured it out... lol thanks

[@BlueWaterTactics]

you don't want to tie your leader to the split right...might pull off or lose..

[@ap4802]

Right... so the split ring is tied to the jig and O ring added to the split ring. Line is tied to the O ring? Yeah? I’m redoing some jigs and need to add new o rings. This will work.

[@BlueWaterTactics]

yes thats it.. there are other way to rig them each around youtube and experiment ..good luck

[@doctordennish]

Why not just loop over the rings to attach instead of having to keep it long enough to go over the hook??

[@seaangler7926]

+doctordennish exactly right

[@BlueWaterTactics]

If you can bite thru that - I'm g

[@BlueWaterTactics]
