I'm tired of store bought surf bottom rigs pulling apart on me or getting cut, and thought I'd try making my own.
I want to make some mono or flouro rigs for just normal surf fishing, some with wire for when the sharks or blues are thick, and also some 'big game' rigs for drum fishing at Hatteras. For the latter I like using these rigs with a big snelled hook and heavy brass swivel with a sliding sinker clip. I've found really good ones at shops like Red Drum Tackle, but it has to be more economical to make my own if I want any quantity.
There are a million different options for hardware out there and it is a bit bewildering, but I figure there are folks here with experience making their own tackle. I'm looking for recommendations on what to use for these different purposes, and I am more concerned with quality than price. Preferably USA made.
thanks!
