Great Video!

I was fooling around the other day and made a wire rig that hopefully will produce some results. For the leader I used about an 18 inch section of 7 strand wire which is fairly flexible, 1/0 circle at the end, then added a short section of single strand which I folded in half and twisted very tightly the entire length (about 4 inches or so) and added a #2 octupus hook as a stinger (or to double hook a live squid). I ran the second section of wire through the loop end of the circle hook and barrel twist up a half inch or so of the stranded wire, finishing off all connections with shrink tube. both hooks are fastened in a manner that gives them free movement. It sounds obtrusive but really its not. Above the rig is a sliding sinker sleeve which easily permits attachment of any size sinker I desire or even omit if I want to fly line a large bait.
