How To Tie A Grouper Rig (While Saving Money & Marine Life)

[@Hisslave1]

Good video as always. Without a swivel in a bottom rig, you will eventually get line twist regardless of how you hook your bait.

[@htsoutdoors8410]

Hell yeah. Been looking for a way to remove the barrel swivel from the equation. Been running a fish finder but with the weight on a 8’ piece of fluro so I didn’t have to run a swivel (I hate terminal tackle

[@Saltstrong]

Glad it helped!

Is high low rig good for grouper fish?

[@Shihabdeenrecreationalcyclist]

What about the mainline

[@hookedonthebay3890]

Hey salt strong. I've always wanted to catch a goliath grouper but never had the money for the gear. I've lost a few on my heaviest tackle. Can you make a video on how to make a handline? I'm sure thousands of people want to know because there isn't a video on that, and handlining is pretty popular.

[@Saltstrong]

+HookedOnTheBay I have not yet gone after goliaths via handline, but I have it on my to do list and will be sure to show everyone how the rig is made once I catch some.

love the song

[@omarbryant4803]

Ok,so what if the grouper is fighting back, does that mean the knot on the hook may break and cost me the fish ?

[@Saltstrong]

Great question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time. The blog can be found here: www.saltstrong.com/articles/how-to-make-a-grouper-rig/

Can i use this on basic carolina rig?

[@Saltstrong]

+VJTrey1 I've never tried it for a carolina rig, but this same rigging style should work for it too. Please keep us posted to your results if you give it a shot. Fish On!

[@bertotrevino9043]

VJ, I use the Carolina Rig for grouper and it works fine for me. Ive occasionally had break offs from lucky grouper making back to cover due to a loose drag, but it always manages to break between the the swivel and hook. The bead helps the knot stay strong on the weights side. Hope this helps.

Salt strong baby.

[@Saltstrong]

+Jason Soloman Great to hear from you Jason! I hope all is going great with your business.

You shouldn't put the hook through the eye. It can grove out the eye which will fray your line. The hook should go on the outside of the guide.
