brettmann86 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 To be honest mate as long as you have a line in the water your in for a chance but I couldn't see why it wouldn't work. Cut your strips close to one end to make them look like tentacles works on kings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginko Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Try this one, it gets tangled much less often than a paternoster at the beach. line swivel ~14inches of heavy trace a swivel slipped onto the trace so that it can slide up and down the trace on the other end of the trace, tie a snap swivel with a big "snap" a star sinker or snapper sinker in the "snap" so then, on the running swivel mentioned above, tie another ~14 inch trace with some big hooks on the other end (if you can tie a sliding snell on the first hook, all the better: you'll be able to match the hook placements directly to each bait that you use). I prefer star sinkers if there is heavy swell or big cross-current along the beach, otherwise I use a snapper sinker for better feeling of bites. Usually I have to use a knife to expand the hole in the snapper sinker to get the snap-swivel through the snapper sinkers. Make sure your knots are really tight (there are five knots here, and if any fail, you'll lose your fish and part of your rig), but trim the tags short to lessen the tangling. Good luck!
