HOW TO TIE KNOTTED SINGLE ASSIST HOOKS
Subscribe AND CLICK THE BELL ►: bit.ly/thefishingkit
Making clean, fast and simple assist hooks are not as straightforward as it seems, technically, you can just attach everything via knots and all will be good - I wish it was the case, but it isn't.
This video will show how I do mine - although it is just one way of doing things, I stuck with this because it works very well for me. As I am getting asked this question a lot, I decided to make a video showing my process.
This process is pretty easy and requires very little equipment to put together. Easy enough to do in the field, again just with knots.
Knotted assist hooks are not too common although it is technically the easiest ones to make. What makes knotted assist hooks difficult is judging the length of the drop of the cord as well as securing the solid ring.

Thank you! I have been having a heck of a time getting the assist cord pulled through itself with the assist cord needle. This is so much easier.

splicing is still the best way, this is just another way of doing things :)

depends on weave of the assist cord, size of the core, size of the splice needle and the shape and thickness of the tag end you are trying to pull through. Some are really easy, some are nearly impossible...

@@TheFishingKit First of all great video, but i'm curious to know which latch/hook needle you using to splice the Varivas SS assitline? I'm having a hell of a time getting the assist line through itself.
Hello kit for this video I know now how to do this knot for the hooks 👍🎣💙

Hello from New Zealand. Thanks so much for making this informative video! A question...what material is used to make the loop that you use to pull through the line end under the 4 loops please?

I made it - It's just nylon...tied into a loop!!! :)
Very helpful. Thanks Kit. I've watched your video making your own assist cord using PE line, and it was x4 100lb lines. Can I use use like an x8 strand 120lb PE line for my shore jigs (15g to 30g) to make similar assists? struggling to find strong assists for my smaller jigs. Love from Egypt.

won't be as good as real assist cord, but yes.

remember normal braid is not abrasion resistant at all. i would go with assist line.

@@miamiwax5504 what is "normal braid"? Literature says that UHMWPE has better abrasion resistance vs kevlar. Does the usage of kevlar vs UHMWPE have not more historical, marketing and manufacturing reasons? Meaning, we started using kevlar first, now we are used to it, so now it gets promoted as being "better" even if science says otherwise? "3.5 Abrasion Resistance Test. The test was performed according to the standard (ASTM D3885 - 07) his test method covers the determination of the abrasion resistance of woven or nonwoven textile fabrics using the flexing and abrasion tester. Kevlar fabric fatigued after of 100,000 abrasion cycles and lost about 20% of its weight, while Dyneema fabric lost the same weight after 1,000,000 abrasion cycles. Table 7. shows abrasion resistance test results for Kevlar and Dyneema fabrics. Figure 7. shows Weight for Kevlar and Dyneema fabrics before and after testing." "4. Conclusion. The low density of the Dyneema fibers with high strength property is the basis for very high tenacity related to their weight. It was presented that Dyneema has a unique combination of properties being the strongest man-made fibers. Also showed Dyneema fabric has good abrasion resistance due to a lower friction coefficient, thus Dyneema tends to bend when it creates a loop or knot, while the Aramid filament tends to break."

Hello. Nice work. How do you make double hook one. Thanks.

Same thing, but you need a longer thength for the solid ring piece then you tie off to a hook. I'll make a video soon.
why slow jigging hooks are different from the fast jigging hooks？
@TheFishingKit

Slow jigging hooks are thinner because you use thinner lines in slow jigging.

@@leopan723 Search in the channel for the video about jigging hooks - I talk about shapes there. Each design is specific for something for Japanese companies - you can't use a slow jigging hook for fast jigging and you can't use fast jigging hooks on slow jigging.
