How to Tie Slow Jigging Assist Hook (with VMC 7117 Slow Jigging Assist Hook)

Soh Yu Hock shows how to tie the new VMC 7117 Slow Jigging Assist Hook, featuring PTFE coating which increases penetration speed by 50%. The VMC 7117 slow jigging assist hook's technical locking curve V shape locks the fish close to the shank, applying less pressure on the point to prevent big fish from opening the hook and self-releasing.

VMC Solid Ring Size #3

Guys please use safety glasses when using crazy glue. I had a very small drop shoot into my eye and now I've lost probably 50% vision in my right eye. That is something you never want getting into your eyes. Of course I would have ignored this advice myself but hopefully this will save at least one person from damaging their eyesight. I can no longer drive at night safely.

Grateful for the clip

[@ihsanlazuardi6567]

Thanks for the videos

[@imzaazmi]

Nice ..i m still learning ..the mono line how many pound bro ✌️

[@Tezido]

Awesome video! Btw, those VMC 7117 are recommended for which weight of jig? Thanks!

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

+Tezido Hello Tezido, it depends, because different jigs have different lengths and therefore the reference should be to the jig length. We usually use the VMC 7117 with Storm Koika jigs and here's our recommendation: 7117 #2/0 = Storm Koika 40g 7117 #3/0 = Storm Koika 60g / 80g 7117 #4/0 = Storm Koika 80g / 100g / 150g 7117 #5/0 = Storm Koika 200g

[@Tezido]

Thanks for the info!

[@andriytoscani2176]

[@andriytoscani2176]

Hi, could you tell the template of the fly tying vise and where to buy it??

[@songs5000]

can you tell me what size hook for what size koika? 15g 20 g

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

+songs5000 Hi Songs, sizes are rather relative for hooks as each manufacturer will have different hook sizes. For the 15g & 20g, we normally use VMC7110 size 2/0

[@jayv8888]

another quick question, what PE line/ thread do you use on your bobbin? thanks

[@urabsnel]

knapa ada setengah tutorial ajar matanya berlawanan ye?..apa bezanye?

[@jparryprodeal]

Hi, Please let me know where can I purchase these hooks that you are using. I prefer those without the eye, I prefer those with the spade head.. Thanks

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

jparryprodeal Hi Parry, you can try Sincere or Riverland

[@andriytoscani2176]

Per favore puoi dirmi la marca o dirmi la "super glue" dove la posso comprare? E assist line che marca e LB eh?

[@jakelauriente4149]

Hi Just wondering what is the point of the fluorocarbon

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

Hi, It's to keep the membranes of the line to prevent it from being tangent against the 2 hooks. Also it adds more strength to the assist hooks too!

[@pegimancing1465]

Nice ..

[@redknappdex3467]

may I know what is the purpose of wrapping the braid near the solid ring?

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

it is to keep the hooks in position, allow the hook to have better penetration power

[@redknappdex3467]

Fish On! TV Thank you.

[@michaai2]

hello from Israel. What kind of vise you use, please (company and part number, if you know it)? I many time try to find the "hairs", that you connect to the hooks, what kind of material is it? Thanks.

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

+MICHAEL AINBINDER The tinsel can be bought from any fly fishing supply shops. Likewise, for the vise, you can purchase them from fly fishing tackle shops too. Any ordinary vise that can hold the hooks will do.

[@mamatcacing7623]

bulu tu mana boleh dapatkan..keluaran vmc jgk ke

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

+mamat cacing Tuan boleh dapatkan daripada kedai yang menjual bahan fly fishing. Kalau Tuan berada di KL, Tuan boleh cuba kedai seperti Tacklebox Adventures di Subang Jaya.

[@leandrob.demiranda6488]

What is the Fluorocarbon used for?

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

It's to maintain stiffness in the assist cord.

[@desmondchen2503]

Hi. What hollow braid is that? Where can I get it.

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

+desmond chen Any hollow braid for fishing in the market can be used

[@indragressor5749]

Whats is the name Glue

[@jayv8888]

what is the superglue brand you were using ?

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

We used a Japanese superglue that you can purchase from Daiso. But any other superglue is fine too.

[@jayv8888]

thanks for the reply! i was also wondering, since i ordered the pe 1-3 Storm Adajo rod with micro guides what knots do you guys normally use so itll slide through the micro guides, FG? PR?

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

FG will be the preferred knot to use Datder :)

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

We normally use the FG knots or PR knots. :)

[@ce4293]

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

Constannian elmadya Hi Constannain, I'm sorry we're not exactly sure which tackle shop specifically stocks them but you could try to enquire at your nearest VMC dealer

[@songs5000]

[@jparryprodeal]

Thank you, I go down and see. I just bought about a 100pack of cultivar jigger light yesterday as I could not find any VMC. I like the gun metal colour as compared to the aluminium coloured cultivar owner jigger light. Please let me know what is the poundage of the Fluorocarbon n the hollow braid that you use in the video. IS the size of the hook a 3/0 or 4/0? Thank you again.

[@jparryprodeal]

jparryprodeal riverland is shit, I called the boss, he say he is busy, may be a few left, but when I went down they only have VMC worm hooks…not the shops into jigging….just stock up some various jigs and lots of dusty storm old jigs….yr fingers becomes the vacuum cleaner

[@jparryprodeal]

jparryprodeal My apologies, I just saw the video annotated with the information that I asked. Sorry fro my oversight.

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

No worries :)

[@CuttingEdge49]

It’s one thing to have the materials from other types of fishing. But to have to go out and buy it all. It’s not worth it. Quality double assist hooks are pretty cheap.

[@RainerOsaft]

Hi, here where I live the assists hooks are pretty expensive. For me it's cheaper to do them on myself and it's even fun doing them. Out of 3m PE you can create a lot of assist hooks and bobbin and thread aren't that expensive. Just my 2 cents. Have a nice day!

[@Raking222]

over done

[@nikosmentes]

Whats the name of this orange line that are you tie the hooks?

[@parrysim6078]

Those are just fly tying threads. That u get in d fly fishing ships. Brands like uni thread, get a no 3 or no 6. No 8 will be too thin. U can buy zapper gap. Super glue. The normal one will harden. Very brittle.

[@nikosmentes]

Thank you mate!! :D

[@jparryprodeal]

Nikos Mentesasvilis You are most welcome. Happy tying and fishing….

[@jparryprodeal]

why do you tie a knot when You don't use it in the video

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

jparryprodeal Are you referring to the whipping thread? This is to secure the loose end.

[@parrysim6078]

No not the red thread that u whip on d hooks. But when u insert the fluorocarbon into d hollow braid n tie a knot. But I do not see that knot appear in ur whole thing video on d 2 hooks.

[@RapalaSoutheastAsia]

The knot is just to secure the fluorocarbon to prevent it from slipping out of the hollow braid :)
