HOW TO TIE A STAND OFF BOTTOM RIG For TAUTOG AKA BLACKFISH
Here is the Video of me using this rig in real action catching many Tautogs.
• IT WORKS!! I PROVED IT.
In this video, I'm showing you how I tie my stand off rig for Tautog aka Blackfish.
In lighter currents that require less than 2 oz weights to hold the bottom then I would prefer using the jigs (showing the video). However, when there is more than 2 oz weight is required. The STAND OFF rig is definitely my go to rig when I target Tautogs.

That double loop knot is a surgeons loop . And if you get hung up it won’t pull out , a single overhand knot is better because it will pull out . Where did you learn to tie rigs ,at Pep Boys?
very nice set-up i will try it next time i go fishing
Great video. Thanks for the help 🤙

Do you use a rod that can handle the 3 os sinker or a rod for lighter sinker?

The rod I use for this rig is rated from 1 to 4oz. I would stay with the rod rating not the lighter setup.
What is the name of jig in your video? I like the color. Thank you

I bought them on Etsy. Just type in "Tog Jigs" you find them.
Quá dử luôn anh ơi 🎉🎉🎉
That purple Jig is pretty. Haha. I agree bro. On deep waters on a boat , I use standoff rig 3 oz lead
That's a clinch knot you used to attach swivel to line. Also if that knot is slipping you should use the improved clinch knot, not just leave a small tag end

not to mention he says to go through 5 times and he does three, wow
1) for the knot tot he swivel try using an improved clinch knot they are less likely to slip also wet it before pulling on the knot at all you damaged the line the friction heat seriously lowers the breaking strength. 2 )a small improvement would be to make the sinker loop very small and add a short section of lighter line so if you are fighting a fish and he hangs up your weight in the structure only the weight will break off.
I actually tie a second hook , snelled eagle claw RIGHT at the bottom, the snags happen. But my lowest and closest hook to the bottom always catches the most. I always do 2 hook. Nothing better than two Togs at a time

That's a terrible idea for Tog. 1 hook only

Or two hooks in the same bait
Great rig but I went to every tackle shop in New York and none of them carry squibbles.

The Trilene knot is far superior to that clinch knot .
The knot in the swivel , should have been a Trilene knot which would have been a double through the eye not a single like you made . You also kinked the leader for pulling down with all those twists , with the Trilene knot only needed three turns .
That bait holder hook stinks, I’ve used them before and they break with any pressure on the shaft .
Nice work .... but check out ... fishing with motorcycle mike.. on long Island n y ... we get blacks to lol ...

Thanks, I'm checking out on your videos too!
I like bank sinkers too, but for Tog people also use cannonball, coin, and other flat sinkers. With Tog you need a simple rig because you get snagged all the time!

Bank sinkers are the only ones to use. The others get snagged easy. Plus bank sinkers are cheap

You may want to try using an octopus hook instead of a bait holder hook.

Sophmoric. No improved clinch, should us e triple surgeons loop , no way for sinker to breakaway, not a correct snell knot. Otherwise its Ok...
Just make a sinker loop and a dropper loop above for the hook and then tie on the swivel! No need to do it the way your doing it.

This allows you to tie the hook snell instead of just hanging the hook onto the dropper loop.

I don't know either LOL!
That’s the wrong way to tie this rig. It’s not a stand off knot
Every aspect of this tutorial was wrong
If you're using crabs for bait they have to be on the bottom or you're not gonna catch nothing
