Old Smoothy Flounder Wishbone Rig

[Old Smoothound]

Yes mate, the reason i make them this way is that they don't tend to tangle on the cast and once in the water they fish close by each other and give a good scent trail.

You then catch em 2 at a time!!
Its proved its worth time and again.
Don't confuse it with a long range wishbone were the snoods need to be the same length so they clip down.

that looks like a dam good rig, do you just crimp whats shown on the pic i place like you would any hook leght?

[Pross]

No, there's no crimps involved. The blood loops does all the work, it's just tying the blood loop that is awkward most of mine went wrong when doing this rig and the tag end pulled away from the rest but I have made one good one just need to test it out now.

[Ben]

where is the weight held on then?

[Pross]

On the mainline above the rig, I had mine set up so the rig was tied to a swivel then above the swivel was a bead then the weight with the weight free running.

[Ben]

ok, thanks, i guess that makes it sit right on the bottom

[Old Smoothound]

I will try and post some step by step photos this week so you can see how to tie a blood loop and how the rig is made.

Also have a non tangle doggy rig made with blood loops and swivels If anyone is interested
