These three rigs will help you ring the dinner bell for one of the toughest fish that swims.
Here’s a cheap solution for a quick and easy leaning-post rigging station.
Use shrink tubing to affix a bead rattle to a long-shank hook to add sound to your baits.
I use silicone tubing from the hobby store to assemble my multihook fluke rigs.
You will need the small, 1 ∕8-inch outside-diameter tubing that is often sold for model-airplane fuel lines.
Simply thread the hooks, tubing and beads onto your line in the desired configuration, then slip the tubing over the eye of each hook — which can sometimes be difficult — and onto the shank and line.
The tubing provides the perfect amount of tension to hold the hooks in place but makes the whole rig easily adjustable to fit your bait.
