knot tying and bait making
 

I was wondering if anyone ever used any of those knot tying tools. I want to start making my own double rigs but I dont know what kind of tool is used. I see some online but most look like they are for fly fishing.
I also want to learn how to make my own baits but have no idea how to start.
If you know a store or company that sells these products that would be great.

theres a video on youtube of marty lacrose making a double rigg. thats where i learned how to do it..

I know how to make the Dbl rigs but I know there are some tools out there that can help make a better/tighter knot. If you ever buy the dbl rigs in the store they are usually on a 30pound test and a good tight knot. I know they arent tying those by hand.

If you want to make baits....... try looking at this web site.

I tie palomar knots on the jigs and a palomar to a swivel between the jigs.
Do your own knot wars, a palomar beats a cinch knot every time.
No matter what knot you use if you hang two good reds, one is going to break off.

Started tying palomar exclusively and havent looked back.

Palomar not too good for fluro carbon

palomar only....

why you say that? I use it all the time on my fluro leaders

I've heard this before from weewacker. He said it breaks easy on flora carbon. I've never really had a problem with but I've watched weewacker spend a lot of time trying to tie whatever kind of knot he uses on flora carbon. Or it maybe on braid.

yea fluro cuts itself and it will break on you with a palomar and a reg clinch knot. just google best knot for fluro and then pick your poison. some of them are pain to tie

it was rare that i broke off using it but it happened and i missed some good fish b/c of it now i use an improved clinch knot ( i think thats what its called. i just go thru the eye twice to make a cirle and then proceed. havent broken off yet with it

thats all i have ever tied and it has never faied me when tied correctly

i love it and its easy to tie

make sure that when you tie any knot in floro, to wet the line and tighten the knot good.

Cool, I believe y'all. I just don't use flourocarbon very often.
Whatever knot works for you. It's usually not the knot that breaks but the line near the knot that gets scraped on oysters.
It's still fun to do your own knot war. Take two old topwater baits, remove the hooks and tie opposing knots on a short piece of line and pull the baits apart until one breaks. For me Palomar beats improved cinch, but maybe I'm just not very good at tieing the cinch knot.

yep I always do this

My fav is the ghetto knot, holds like a MoFo

I always tie this knot with fluro, I was told the key is to spit on the knot prior to chinching it down so it keeps the line slick to cut friction that can heat the line n make it weaker. I don't know if it's true but I nerve have knot trouble

Y'all just don't catch the big ones like me








Oh!!!! Haha jk
