here are a couple you might like to learn, i used to do seminars all around the country and one of the things i found hard for people to learn was knots so i simplified them as much as i could... Knot for hooks "strayline" one hook rig... Two hook rig... making a double, if your keen to fish lighter line weights "4-8kg" then its a good idea to use a double in your mainline... the quickest way is by using a Fig8 knot, now its not as strong as a Bimini knot but when your in a hurry it sure is fast... here is a Bimini if your keen to learn, i did this one from the anglers point of view so you can easily tie it... tying a trace to your double in the mainline... just something else that might be of interest is different hooks.... how do you rig these with bait? here are a couple i do when chasing big snapper... rigging a whole pilchard with little fuss, great for dropping in deep water or casting out the back... and here is how i rig a whole Squid... ------------- Thanks for everything you did for us Eric. may you rest in peace, You were one of the real legends of NZ recreational fishing |

When I was learning to snell a hook, this guy was the king: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukzfzws2jYY - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukzfzws2jYY
Most other demonstrations I saw were either confusing, or they didn't do the 'through the loop' at the end which meant the knots can come undone if the line is pushed from the top - i didn't like that - so I always use the method above. |
