Thank you Harley! Great video. Amusing and good info! I lost a Lake Trout today with a single hook rig. Next time out I'll be using this double hook rig :-)
Thanks a bunch, glad to see you're still subscribed. The new channel didn't work out so well so I'm gonna be posting those videos over here in the coming weeks. So if you get a chance, watch 'em again =) plus new ones coming too!
Awesome, will always try my best to help out a fellow CZcamsr and a fisherman as well. We are in process of trying to edit and get this channel on the go. Would love to get us with you and Chris some day.
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). czcams.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.
Dale, thank you very much buddy. I miss the catfish community and making my videos too! Maybe I'll get to make a few videos soon and maybe even catch some FFFish!!
@@celaphodx27 I appreciate the vote of confidence, however I have not been putting out a lot lately. Sometimes life gets in the way. Hopefully I'll have some new content soon
That's good - thanks. Please could I suggest you just have a plain white untextured background so your camera will focus on the foregound. A lot of the finer detail is blurred - thanks again
Heck yeah you would! I figured I'd leave that part up to y'all next thing you know that would want me to cast the darn thing to a good spot. Thanks for watching.
Great idea gotta start using these. I put a big piece of squid or octopus and the bait keeps coming off and the bell is ringing so I think they just pulling the bait off without touching the hooks 🤙🤙 mahalo
This is a great demo. However, when sliding my leader line down in the last step I’m finding my line twisting up big time as it’s pulled through the snell, on both sides. I can untwist it of course but the line seems a bit kinked after and possibly compromised in strength. Maybe I’m cinching down my snell too much? Thoughts? Thanks.
I believe you're exactly right, it doesn't really need to be that tight just enough to make the knot stay. I haven't actually had that issue though. What pound test are you generally using? I'm using like 50 lb Berkley big game on most of my rigs and am going to get a spool of Andy monster 80lb soon and use it
@@UncleHarley Thanks for the reply! I’m using Berkley Trilene 30 and 40lb mono. I tried again and cinched down but not too strongly. This allows the sliding of the hook without the twisting up I mentioned. Once in place I cinch one more time a bit more tightly then cut off the tags. Sliding the hook a small amount for the size of the bait at the point causes no twists. Solved! Again, thanks for the great video demo. We caught a nice 32” halibut with ansliding hook rig tied this way. Video going up today on my daughters channel: Mimi FishFish. Check it out!
@@UncleHarley Thanks Harley! We got her on her first salmon this last weekend too on a boat in Monterey Bay. New vid of that coming. I’ve now loaded up my rig wallet with about 10-12 of your double hook sliding rigs, some with treble stingers too. Will be using them this weekend going for halibut and stripers. I’ve struggled to find a solid tying system and snelling knot process until now. Your method stays nice and tightly knotted. Thanks again!
Hi, very nice video and very well explain. I wonder : what if the fish get only the adjustable hook? Am i going to miss the hook up because that hook can slide down to the bottom of the leader before penetrate the fish. Thank you to share this great knot.
I know one that would like to but just can't find the time. My fishing addiction is getting pretty bad. I may have to check into rehab, maybe not! Good to hear from you brother!!
Is there a reason why you have the bigger hook a head of the smaller hook. Most sliding live bait rigs I’ve seen have the smaller hook in front? Thanks
Sorry I didn't answer sooner. This is just a demo and those are the hooks I had handy . Feel free to use any size you have. I usually use a couple 7 ought Diiachi circle hooks when using big chunks or whole skipjack when targeting big catfish.
I need more explanation. Are you trying to heave a huge bait a long distance? I'd so, then yes it will deform. However if you tie your snell tightly and finesse the throw it should maintain. Thanks for watching!
@@UncleHarley Still IF a big fish grab that small stinger hook, it will be pointless, the small hook can be made 'straight', still you'll lose that fish. Why bother use small stinger hook in the first place? Why not use 2 bigger strong hooks? 🤔🤦♂️

this video cracked me up!!!!!! Those puppet fish were a great touch!!!!
Thanks a bunch! I have a great time making videos!!
I knew you were going to tie a uni knot. This will be in my arsenal from now on.Happy tight lines
Great explanation the different colored lines was the game changer thx
the best sliding hook rig guide out of the rest in Utube
You're too kind, thanks so much,!!!
Well presented there Harley, clear and easy to understand. I will use this tomorrow.
after i watch this video i catch spring chinok 2023 thank you
Been a while, trolling for halibut in 2 days. Thx for the refresher. You are a natural - hope to find more of your tackle tips. Tight lines.
Wow, good luck bud!!
Thank you Harley! Great video. Amusing and good info! I lost a Lake Trout today with a single hook rig. Next time out I'll be using this double hook rig :-)
Mike! Thanks for watching. Good luck on the next one!!
Thank you very much from Down Under. Great video. Easy to understand for a beginner like me. Cheers. ☺
So glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for taking time to leave a comment. Very much appreciated!
Always great stuff Harley, glad to see you back on your old channel making videos again.

Wow! Much easier to follow than others. Thanks! I hope I can catch some halibut this weekend.
Thanks! It makes me happy when people find easier ways! Good luck in your adventures.
Wow, great detailed video, awesome narration and fabulous humor, way to go sir!!!
Wow thanks Skipper!!!! .Commets from friends like this just gives me a happy heart!!
Awesome rig, thanks a million 👌🤗👍👍

Great video harley. I'm definitely gonna give that rig a try
Let me know how it work for ya!
Going to try this this week while targeting flatheads. And Harley were missing you in the catfish community.
Dale, thank you very much buddy. I miss the catfish community and making my videos too! Maybe I'll get to make a few videos soon and maybe even catch some FFFish!!
Good info. I needed that a month ago!
That make a few of us =)
Great job Harley! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!! Tight lines!!
I found your demonstration wonderfully clear. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us.
Glad you liked it,. thank you very much. Hopefully you'll catch a huge one using this method! Good Luck!!
Nicely done Harley!
Thanks a lot! I APPRECIATE ya!, I think my next video is going to be on photoshopping elves in compromising positions =)
@@UncleHarley You might need images of James Dockery and Chadwick Fields for that, let me know
@@CatfishWeekly I had a feeling you'd step up!! Have a good one Lyle and thanks for the continued support of my channel!!
I’m digging this!
Thanks brother Scotty!!
You kill me! Love the vid!
Wow dude, You do great videos! Entertaining too.
Some people call me crazy, I'll take that as a compliment, thanks!
Good video! I think i'm going to start using it, ad some googly eyes to the skip or shad for movement and call it the Harley rig.
Shoot yeah! I'm all for that!! LMAO. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
Very nice!!!!
Thanks
that awesome, thanks I'm going to try this one...
Thanks and good luck!

Nice presentation, but why don't you add the bait montage? Would you get your hands dirty?
Heck yeah you would! I figured I'd leave that part up to y'all next thing you know that would want me to cast the darn thing to a good spot. Thanks for watching.

I believe if it is a circle kind bait hook, the fish will hook itself.
Nice video! Do you know any good warlocks that want to play in shadowlands??
I know one that would like to but just can't find the time. My fishing addiction is getting pretty bad. I may have to check into rehab, maybe not! Good to hear from you brother!!
and, an overhand (granny) knot in the line of the sliding hook will stop it at any point (in front of the snell.)
Good tip, thanks
How would you rig that on Herring for halibut. I know some people use rubber bands. Can you do a video on how to put this on a bait
What is the name of the Small Gold Hook?
Got to try it. Kinda worried the sliding snell hook will work loose.
It's pretty snug with the snell, plus the line is ran thru the 2nd hook.
Is there a reason why you have the bigger hook a head of the smaller hook. Most sliding live bait rigs I’ve seen have the smaller hook in front? Thanks

Harley where u been
Dude this was awesome helped me out huge thanx! Deffenitly getting a sub from me
Can i use spade hooks
Very informative video but the music was overpowering the narrator....
Sir!!! Lmfao!!
It won't work. Sliding hook will slide, and 'deform' the shape and presentation of bait. Happened to me, I abandoned sliding hooks altogether.

@@duanabsa9993 The smaller hook is just for demonstration, you don't have to use the same size hooks I did in this presentation.
@@UncleHarley Yeah, every 'expert' vlogger on youtube says the same.
@@duanabsa9993 have a nice day.
Nice video but I ask why you tubers use music with their instruction videos... very annoying... Just saying.
