Here are some pictures of a naked mullet the way I rig it. Thats not the quick rig, that is the one use twisted wire way.

Pitch - why floss instead of wire?........ive seen floss used before - but most guys i know use wire....Im just curious as to what your reasons are......just good ole curiosity

ALot of people use the wire on the pin rig mullet. I dont like it to me it is important to get the head closed up as tight as you can, I just cant get it as tight as I would like with the wire. When you are using these mullet instead of split tailed, and if the water gets in and makes the blow up and spin. Not to mention the floss is cheaper.

Tim that is the knot and tag end from the first piece of floss. The floss goes through the back of the peck fin and is cris crossed over the head and tied under the chin then the second piece is wrapped around the gills and tied on the side or bottom of the head. The wire is broke off at the end of the haywire twist.

One more important tip when using the method you use Pitch is to take a set of pliers, grip the twists of the haywire and twist the mullet. This will tighten the lead down to the mullets mouth and keep them swimming straight. I learned this from Josh Ruskey on the D.A. Sea. Also, i notice alot of guys use the Zip-Ties because it is way faster and most are rigging at least 2 dozen mullets so it saves alot of time. I have never used the pin rig except for Ballyhoo dredges and was wondering if they swim as good as your rig??

Rob I agree with the extra twisting that is the last step for us before the rinse and layed to rest in the bait tray. We are fairly fast at it we are 36 mullets per side and some are changed out at lunch. We fish the better part of 90 mullets a day during the tournament. Im not a fan if the pin rig unless Im fun fishing and really pressed for time. I think that the pin can some times cause them to swim alittle side ways if it isnt perfectly straight an in the middle of the head. We usually are skirting some of our mullets so the pin rigs wont work.

Sounds good, are you catching the mullets yourself or do you buy them? And do the Non- Split tailed mullets last longer? I put islanders on some of my mullets also or maybe flashers but i was just wondering how the pin rig works.
