 Tying twin-hook bottom rigs
I'm wanting to tie my own twin hook bottom rigs like typically used on headboats. I make them all the time for surf-pier fishing, but never worried about whether I was using the proper type of knot. I always used 50# line and figured that the knot I was tying on 50# line was as strong as the main 15-20# line I was using (which proved to be correct).
Since I'll be doing some bottom bouncing soon, using 65# line on my reel, I want to tie some more robust, grouper-worthy rigs.
I have a ton of 90# Seven-Strand that I bought at a Walmart that had them marked down to 10cent a pack (you read that right). I'd like to use this as my rig material.
So basically I'm trying to figure out how to tie this, from the barrel swivel at the top all the way to the sinker connector at the bottom, while still having two hook lines sprouting off. How is this done the right way (Seven Strand will tie the same way mono does, for the most part)?
Thanks,
Matt |
