Perch rigs

[JMaher79]

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.
Let me know I have tied about 20 and they work fine.

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.
