gotta be the good old back to back knot
-
they look very much like the fox sleeves. Although the fox sleeves go down to even more of a point. There are a few companies out their that do that type of swivel though. I Prefer that type of swivel compared to the korda ones. I think the korda ones help the loop deteriorate a bit too fast.
-
Personally I use the fox ones. If only for the sleeves. They are nice and streamlined and ensure that your rig lays out flat on the lakebed, by pushing the bait away from the swivel. I'll take a photo and post in a minute

Or just put the hookbait in an empty bait bucket with i piece of PVA foam covering the hook point. Seems to work fine
-
i was casting out a 23 ft zig rig yesterday. My god did i have fun just getting ready for the cast!
-
does it have to be leadcore? or can it also be tubing?
-
I hear a lot about people catching on black foam etc (on the zig). Small dark baits work best as they can be seen better in the glowing water. Im going out this afternoon and i was thinking of giving the zig ago.....but using a small piece of cork. i've used zig rigs twice, and had two fish on them, and lost one that aint a bad result at all

baisically all you can do is try something different. I tend to have a set list of changes and work through them if im missing runs until I get a full take (hopefully) everytime) and you really need to make sure them hooks are sharp.
-
I think he means the hooklink. Make sure you use a big ring swivel and put some tubing to cover the swivel (between the lead and the big ring), but making sure that the lead can obviously still run freely. And use 1-2 foot of tubing so the lead can run along.... ......as this MAY help
-
or, just use boyant mag aligners
-
i have about 15 rigs pre tied in my wallet. most of them are simpless knotless knot or with a line aligner (or liner liner as 'starbaits' once said, god i miss that kid). then after the i have about 3 combi rigs, 2 stiff fluro, couple of pop up rigs....... made one anti eject rig last night, but I always use a standard knotlees knot rig anyway. if it aint broke dont fix it
-
i used to have it but can't find it now

haha after re-reading the whole thread im still are you just glueing them on? or sewing them onto line and then adding the poly ball on the same line at the end?
