Knots and rigs - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Personally, I try to keep it as simple as possible. I use Palomar knots almost exclusively on all my rigs. It's a pain on dropper loops but it can be done. I've always been a big fan of doing the most with the least. I would say that 90% of my yellowtail have been caught on Carolina rigs with just an egg sinker, a split ring, and a #2 bait hook. I typically use ringed hooks for two reasons. First, I think they give the bait better mobility for a more lively presentation and it's easier for my 45 year old already tiring eyes to knot the bloody things.

That's my input. There's a LOT more advanced people here though.
