HOW THE RIG IS TIED

Start off by splicing about 10cm from the Coated Hooklink. You will tie a knotless knot with this section of the Coated Hooklink.

Now cut off about 25cm to 30cm of the Coated Hooklink, depending on the length you want your Rig to be.

Thread the Uncoated part of the Hooklink through the eye of the hook.

Now tie a simple knotless knot and thread the other end of the Coated Hooklink back through the eye of the hook.

Cut off the excess piece of Uncoated Hooklink, we won't be needing this anymore.

You can now add the Kicker over the knot you just created.

Add your Anti Tangle Sleeve through the other side of the Coated Hooklink.

Now tie a simple figure of 8 loop knot on the other side of the Coated Hooklink.

Thread your Anti Tangle Sleeve over the knot, keeping the Rig nice and neat.

Add the Oval Bait Screw over the point of the hook.

Followed by the Hook Bead.

An optional step is to add a little bit of Tungsten Putty about 1.5cm to 2cm from the hook. This will further assist with the hooking capabilities of the Rig.
