Default Re: Bottom rig adjustment

For blackfish at least, I use a single hook setup. In the morning, I tie arouind 6 5/0 gami octo hooks up to 2' pieces of flouro. Then, I tie about 12' of flouro to my main line. At the end of that I put a double twist surgeons loop and attach the sinker. It's a pretty big loop. I then attach my hook to that. I think they call this a belmar blackfish rig. I never use the full two foot, I shorten it to whatever length I think I need. It's pretty good and throughout the day as you break off all you need to do is tie new surgeon loops and put your hook back on. I try not to break off more than 6 times.
