Loop rig help

[purron]

Hi all,

Ive been trying to tie a 2 hook loop rig as described on the planet sea fishing pdf.

The problem is I can't get the top hook to stay in the cascade swivel.

Any ideas?


Cheers

is there sufficient tension between the cascade and the bottom clip ? also instead of srt u can also use silicone and a bead to help create the appropriate tension .

if u r using cascade swivel try to make sure its right way round. i now use bent clip and had similar issues before when it was tied wrong way mate. hope u get to solve it .

Did you get tension on the spring with the rig clipped up before crimping the stops in place ?

Ive put a stop knot on the bottom so I can get thr tension spot on.

Haven't got any silicone to try that method codcatcher.

Might try turning the cascade round

I think I might have sorted it. It looks like I had the length from the hook to the cascade longer than the cascade to the swivel.
I shortened it by about an inch and appears to have worked.

In total its taken about 1.5 hours to tie and sort this out :-(

Thanks for your help.

Your hooklenth between hook and cascade should only be long enough to fit your bait in(say 4-5inch for example), then the top bait will be closer to the other bait and lead, making the rig more streamline for casting.

Hi shaun,

Now you mention it it does seem pretty obvious.
