Interesting. Will try on our 2.5 this weekend. We use rubber band inline sinker rig. But we only fish 6-7 people we drop carefully rarely tangle. But in combat fishing I could see this being effective. We use very weak rubber bands and it’s rare to have a sinker with fish usually clears. Thanks for great content! Best of luck out there!

Good day, Sam. Which size/brand "ringed circle hook" is recommended for an 80# and 100# setup? Thanks.

What’s the difference between this and a rock fish setup with dropper loops? Also how does the bait swim around being tethered to a straight line?

this should work great with chunking/non-swimming bait. Gonna have two set ups, 1 rubber band and 1 drop shot next year to see how both work

@FriedmanAdventuresPodcast

Жыл бұрын

Absolutely

The other advantage to this. If on the rubberband above the hook, especially at night, when you get close to gaff the decky has to cut off the sinker, if its too far away from the hook. This eliminates that.

100%. Thanks for sharing that.

do you all think this would work with a flat fall lure at the bottom inplace of a sinker?

If this is working and the sardine doesn't need to be free to swim around, it does raise the question of using a more traditional drop-shot rig. Might experiment with one on next week's trip.n. Perhaps 2-3 sardines on droppers too short to tangle, with a knife jig dragging the whole thing down....

More than likely you would run a thinner mono for the weight leader then once hooked up that sinker would break off.

Sounds very dangerous to the crew and yourself when the fish get's hauled over the rail, having another hook on the end of the line possibly whipping around.

If using 100# plus FC, I am assuming you are you crimping the line to the hook? Just going by the old rule-of-thumb of anything over 100#, crimp.

I think that is probably a good way to do it Jesse. Thanks for making Friedman Adventures so much better.

I noticed he said to tie the weight to the ring and the main line to the hook eye. Why not just tie the main line to the ring also? Does this make a difference in how this rig fishes?

Good question. Check out the orientation of the hook. If you tie both lines to same ring, the hook point goes "up and down." This is what we did the other day and it caught fish, but the crew recommended chin hooking the sardine in that case (up through the bottom of the chin). Doing it the way they show in this video "turns" the hook and then you just do a typical nose hook on the bait.

Why not tie the main line plus the sinker line to the same ring, it will keep the hook a little more free to swing. You can also put a rubber band on the end of the sinker line if you're afraid of the added weight when fighting the fish. Most of the time, the sinker will fall off during the fight.

I don’t see this as a revolutionary rigging. Drop shot style with the hook in line with the leader does not offer the bait any free swimming natural motion. Not much difference than a sinker rig with the bait foul wrapped around the main line above the sinker. The best rigging is a dropper loop if you have time to tie it, but in a quick switch for deep drop, the sinker rig is the fastest way to go.

This is tied incorrectly. The main line is suppose to go to the topside of the ring , then the hook, then the drop shot line. This has the hook pointing up, then you hook the sardine from the bottom up. Lol…..
