Lockdown DIY Rigging - How to make a Jigging Assist!

JC takes us step by step through a tutorial on how he builds a jigging assist which he uses fishing for yellowtail kingfish, amberjack, bluefin tuna, dogtooth tuna, giant trevally and other reef species. It's a great way to pass the time especially during the Covid19 lockdown! Links to ALL the gear below..

😂 I just love instructional videos that are: -Out of focus -Hands block and obscure the knot -Knot is out of frame Well done!

[@shaffiahmed3120]

That was best and easiest one i watched so for

[@nicknieuwdorp5534]

Great video thanks 👍

[@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273]

I make mine the same way ..... but I add a lumo bead to stop the rubber squid popping down to far, it also adds a bit of body to the head of the squid I also use a piece of copper wire to pull the cord through everything , put a little hook in the wire .. Enjoying the content !! Stay Safe !!!

Thanks Graeme! Glad you liked it mate 👍🏻

Feed a wire loop or hook down through the nose of the skirt to pull the assist through. Makes it heaps easier. You can also keep the holes in the skirt nice and small and tight.

[@ebbtidetackle]

Good call man that would do the trick perfect!

[@alexszs7055]

Thank you for that Thats very simple😃

[@ebbtidetackle]

Our pleasure 🤟🏼

[@JayJBigIslandFishing]

Nice and basic way to save some money and make the lengths and hooks to personal preference. I usually just turn the squid a bit inside out rolling it on my finger. Great vid john

[@ebbtidetackle]

Yep I do that if I have made the hole a tad small to thread it through. It's simple easy and satisfying hey!

[@markward5588]

[@jonboyle326]

i use a latch needle pass it through the hole in the skirt hook it on and pull through

[@ebbtidetackle]

Nice one will give it a try

[@ilexwang9530]

can this , without squid skirt, be used for stickbait ? thanks

[@ebbtidetackle]

A swinging assist hook, sure can. Usually keep the length shorter.

Our leaders around the world didn't learn a thing from the lockdowns. However, we free people did, we will never comply again with such madness again!
