Let’s rig your own double hooks. There are pre-rigged double hooks in the market, but very few with the fluoro-cored assist cord. We should rig it ourselves as it is a part of fishing.

Hooks with ring eye

You can make different lengths of assist line to suit the different sizes of your jigs. I make 3cm, 4cm, 5cm. And sometimes you come shorter in the end but that’s OK. It comes handy sometimes to have 3.5cm and 4.5cm.

Assembling is pretty simple with the ring eye of the hook. The downside is that we don’t have many kinds of hooks with ring eye, and some believe that the ring eye is big and makes noisy movements.

PR Knot to assemble the double hook

If you have a vise and a bobbin tool, this is much better assembling.
It’s simply stronger than the other knot, just like PR Knot is. It also keeps the positions of the hooks much better intact.

I’m still practicing this assembling and a lot of things can go wrong. But this is what I was taught.

Hooks with flat eye

Seafloor Control JAM Assist Line

Assist line with fluoro core. It’s firm and supple, keeping the assist hooks from tangling with the leader during the fall actions of SPJ. The color is red because red is the most invisible color in the water.

assline

Assist line with fluoro core from Angler’s Support Service. ASS is a member of Team Sato. They make what Sato Sensei invented and this is one of them. PE braided with fluoro line running through it. So it’s firm and supple.
Slow Pitch utilizes a lot of small actions, and the head of the jig goes up and down many times. You’d want to have this firm assist line in the HEAD hooks. It will avoid tangling up with the leader.

A.S.S. seamless ring

assring

Seamless solid ring from Anglers Support Service. This ring is made by the columnar polishing rod. Non-welding seamless ring makes it so tough to break. Perfectly rounded metal has no corners to damage the line.
The ring you use doesn’t have to be this, I don’t think. But I would not trust a welded ring. It has to be punched one piece of metal.
