Homemade Spec Rigs for Fishing
- 1). Hold a barrel swivel so that the eye on one end is easily accessible. Cut a 3-foot length of the fluorocarbon fishing line to serve as a leader. Cut the line with scissors.
- 2). Thread one end of the leader through the eye of the barrel swivel. Pull the leader through so that one end of the line is twice as long as the other.
- 3). Turn the shorter length of leader back through the eye, forming a loop on one side and a double line on the other. Secure the fluorocarbon leader to the swivel eye with a Palomar knot.
- 4). Form the Palomar by tying a simple overhand knot with the loop and doubled line. Pull the loop around and over the opposite end of the barrel swivel, moisten the knot and tighten.
- 5). Attach the 1/8-ounce lead head jigs, one on the end of each fluorocarbon leader length. Secure the jigs to the leaders with a Palomar knot.
