Need Perch Tips

[sloch24]

The pictures are pretty self explanatory. Make the bottom loop big enough to go through the eye of your sinker, around the bottom, and then sinch it tight.

The top loop is attached to your line with a good quality crankbait snap.

I just used Heavy monofiliment. I'm sure a good quality Fluorocarbon would work very good also.

I also snell my hooks to the line. I do this before I crimp them. Pass the line through the eye with about 1/2" of the tag below the eye. Hold the tag to the shank. Then take the line above the eye, and start wrapping below the eye (about 10 wraps). Last, bring the loose end of the line through the front of the eye, and pull tight. It's that easy. If that's too hard, look up a Palomer knot. It works well too, or you can just use another crimp sleeve, but that seems like a waste to me.

Any questions, feel free to ask! I picked up some perch with the rig in the picture last night.

[Hook-Em Out]

Thanks sloch24. I made up some of my own to use Saturday, just tied up some with two hook drop loops like I use surf fishing in Florida. Worked ok did not like the hook presentation. Snelling will keep the hook hanging outward. I will make some of your for the next trip.
