west sister perch

[chiefho70]

1/2 mile west of the island got there around noon it took that long to find the perch two hours later 120 in the box I was the only one catching fish with a skipper 9 rig after ten minutes I had the other three begging for one .it was a good day

maybe you can answer a question for me .. I just got a perch rig in the mail from skipper9 .. what is the loop with the bead for just above the bottom hook ..? I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to duplicate it .. I just need more practice I guess ...

If I understand you correctly?

That loop is the top of the rig the swivel on the bottom is for weight.

Hope that helps.

That makes more sense

That is correct . I start with the top hook tie on the second and third hook then the snap . Then I tie the loop and cut it from the spool

Its OK to ask, thats the beauty of this forum.. Sometimes its a wealth of knowledge. People will help you out here. If I have a question I ask.
I have learned a couple things here.

Then this happened. I gave him a skipper9 and he got a tripple.

I love to catch triples way to go!

what are the knots that create the loops where the hooks are tied ...? I'm assuming the knots that hold the hooks are just palomar knots ...?

[chiefho70]

The hooks are tied with palomar knots then I just tie three over hand knots at the length away from the main line that I want the hook at. Not sure if that's what skipper 9 does but it works for me
