sorry. I am out of tru turn hooks to make prch rigs.. I am back ordered from 5 different places. As soon as i get some I will start sending them out again.. I can't believe how many I have already sent out.. I am gonna have to get a second job to pay for the hooks and the postage..
Guys just do what I did and tie your own. Got my tru turns at Bass Pro here in town. Will be using them this weekend.
Do you have a link to where i can buy your rigs?
No not really.. I don't really want to sell any. I will mail one to anyone that wants one to duplicate. If you are not good at tying I will make additional ones for $1.50. That is what it cost me to make them and postage .
This may seem like a dumb question but I tried to make a skipper9 rig. I am having a hard time figuring out how to tie the main line and the line coming off the hooks. It seems like the knot wants to slide up and down the main line. Is this how its supposed to be or am I not tying it right ? If not then what type of knots should I be using?
I had the same problem but then I made a knot then another at the same time no problem.Quote:

jim you said you were the perch king, now you see what you have done, Yes your rigs are putting a lot of perch on our boat,
but I'm still sticking to mine , LOL WAYNE
Are there any links to pics? I am new to this forum but hale from the Cedar Point area and lived here for over fifty years. Thanks Karl :)
Yea yea, perch king.. lol. One knot up one knot down on each hook lead.s I tell everyone you should use what ever works for you. God luck everyone.
Skipper9 probably ties his different than me but here's how I've been doing mine. I tie a palomar knot on the first hook leaving the tag end long. The tag end is where you will later tie your snap swivel at the end for the weight to attach. Next I tie a surgeons knot about 2 inches up the line from the hook like this link shows. Your hook will now be on the end of the loop secured by the palomar knot you first tied.

Now go up the line about 6 inches and repeat 2 times. After all three hooks are tied, tie the surgeons end loop at the top for your main line to attach to. Last tie the snap swivel on the bottom for the weight to attach.

Just got my Skipper9 Perch Rig today.Between me and my fishing buddies we will figure out how to tie one up.Thanks Capt. Jim.Gonna try it out tomorrow!!!
I tied mine a little different. I use 20# and tie dropper loops approximately 8" apart. Then cut the bottom of the dropper and tie my hook on.

Walleye2go (Greg). I hear hear your at channel grove? Stop ny sometime when you see me at the boat. I would love to met you. Maybe already have, I am terrible with name's
Is there a picture some where to see one of these rigs ..?
There's a picture posted on here somewhere. I just tried to search but didn't see the thread. You may want to try a search. I don't have a pic and all my rigs are 2 hours away but I'm sure somebody can post a pic.
Boatlimit, I will get that rig out in the mail in the am.
thanks so much ...
I found it and saved it
Good thread! Ah I need to hit the water a few more times!
That looks like it could take a while to figure out and to master .. I cant wait to get one and start trying to duplicate ... any pointers ..? those look like true turn hooks ..? what size works best ...?
