This video is about the tools for rigging assist hooks and how to use them. There are a few items here you can see that might help you with your assist hook tying - doing them faster and cleaner.
The tools outlined are very basic - you can even make your own if you are handy with some tools and material, of course you can buy them as well.
I hope this helps people as I know there are a lot of people that tie with just their hands and not only does that hurt - it is also quite an inefficient process.

Does putting the hook through the line weakens the line? Would binding to the shank directly with a half hitch be more reliable?

[@TheFishingKit]

Hi TDoo thanks so much!!!! first ever super thanks for me!!!! Actually, not really. This is pretty standard. The knot slips if you do it on hooks without eyes. And you only ever pass the hook through the line with spade heads not with eyed hooks.

Hello, I was watching the video and I quite like the splicing part. I tried it with my standard assist cord and I have to say I was not very lucky. I understand the right way to do it is to get a hollow-core assist cord but it does no seem to be very easy to find in Dubai. Any suggestion about where to get the cord?

[@TheFishingKit]

hollow cord is all over the place in Dubai - barracuda fishing in shk Zayed road is a good place to start.

[@cento79]

@@TheFishingKit, thanks a lot. I know the shop, will try they. Keep up the good work, very nice and informative videos.

[@TheJollymice]

Hi, where do i buy the black tool that holds the hook?, thanks for the video!!

[@TheFishingKit]

it's called a fly tying vise - look for them on ebay or amazon.

[@JoshSuman]

Hi Kit, I'm shopping for a rotating fly tying vise but most are rated up to size 4/0 hooks. Any recommendations on a brand that can handle larger hook sizes? Thanks

[@TheFishingKit]

Some of them can handle bigger, they just sont say it - best to go to a flyshop and test out few

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Kit , is that a standard vice for trout fly's or bigger one for jigs?, Thanks brother

[@TheFishingKit]

thats just for fly tying...you dont need anything fancy just the right jaws to hold the hooks you want. That one in particular is the cheapest Griffin vise.

Hello, where can I find this clamp for the construction of assist hooks I use BKK hooks of 3/0 ~ 4/0 ~ 5/0 can you give me some help. I usually use a pressure pliers and so I always have one hand busy holding the pliers tight, and it's not nice.

[@tonytran8313]

Hello, great tutorial! Can you please help with a couple questions. At 4:23, what kind of threading needle is that and do you know where I can buy? Also what fly tying hook clamp is that? Thanks in advance!

[@TheFishingKit]

it is a threading needle from OWNER. the vise is a montana mongoose from Grifin enterprises - might not be practical for just tying assist hooks, but since I tied flies in the past, I invested on it.

Thanks Mr. Kit for information And why don't use fly tying thread, I asked because I can't get thin bread under pe.1 in my country

[@TheFishingKit]

fly tying thread is weak

[@tamerabdelaziz.]

@@TheFishingKit 🙏🙏🙏

[@tamerabdelaziz.]

@@TheFishingKit Is there any way I can use it? I fish with jigs from 10 to 50.g max If not what the size of bread suitable for me, and size of cord like you said depends on hook size, to me it's ok between 0.5mm to 1.mm

[@TheFishingKit]

sure you can...just dont expect them to last or hold bigger fish.@@tamerabdelaziz.

[@sheico1902]

What type of thread are you using? Is it the same thread used in sewing?

[@TheFishingKit]

Nonits not. It is thin braid

[@ownvideofootage]

Hello, What is your recommendation about thread, number, deniers, material, brand, waxed not waxed?

[@TheFishingKit]

Firstly, don't use fly tying thread. Go online and look for very thin braid. I use Japanese 0.4 braided fishing line - amzn.to/44r5xEb

[@ownvideofootage]

Thanks!

[@danielchong2234]

Do i need montana mongoose vise if i just need to tie assit hook? or just get the normal or the best i could get from local will do?

[@TheFishingKit]

You can use any vise. I just happen to tie flies a lot before and my main vise was a montana mongoose. Just make sure it is able to hold the hooks you want to tie securely.

[@danielchong2234]

@@TheFishingKit What about the width of the mouth? does 1mm enough for slow jigging hook?

[@TheFishingKit]

@@danielchong2234 it depends on the size of the hooks and jigs, you are going to use right? are you going to use 1000g? 1500? or 10g and below? The only person that can answer this question for you is?

there is no such thing. just get the best vise you can get and a bobbin holder.

[@sanjeevvadaketh5620]

I'm a little confused on another video where you were discussing assist hooks you mentioned that for these kinds of hooks you should wrap the cord/Kevlar at the bottom part of hook shank. However in this video you wrapped on the top part.

[@TheFishingKit]

does the other hook have an eye or a spade head?

[@sanjeevvadaketh5620]

@@TheFishingKit in the other video the hook had a spade head. You were discussing why wrapping of the cord should always be on the bottom section of the shank. It was your video where u were taking about assist hooks in general - Assist hooks what you need to know - I left a comment there too mate.

[@TheFishingKit]

Did I pass the hook through the cord?

[@sanjeevvadaketh5620]

@@TheFishingKit in this video yes, in the assist hook video I think it was a factory tied spade hook you were discussing. Maybe go check out the comment I left on that video. I just want to know which would be a better method of cording the hook.

[@TheFishingKit]

@@sanjeevvadaketh5620 I knew what you were talking about - but I'm pointing out why. There are several ways to do things. The most important point is that the assist cord that pulls on the hook should be on the side where the barb is - since it is the point that dictates the point where the origin on your pull comes from - putting it on top will direct it upwards and away from flesh - it doesn't mean you won't catch fish if you put the tow point origin on top, just that you will miss a lot more.

[@kingdavid2684]

Good Video. Can you please tell me what is the proper name/ of the needle you used. I looked for ''cultiva splice needle etc. and I didnt have any luck. Is there a model number you could share ? Thank you

[@kingdavid2684]

Thank you sir. Do you like this one best for splicing assist cord or is there a latch needle that is better suited for assist cord ? I do have a couple (short) latch key needles but I find them too short for my taste and would prefer something closer to 8 inchs or more. I dont know what size (latch) is best to get. Iv been looking at the DaHo but again, Im not sure what size the latch it should be. I really dont see me using any assist cord above 400 or below 300. Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thank you.
