wire pin rig

[canyonjunkie]

ive got the regular pin rig down, but not sure how to go about the wire pin rig. we had a couple cut offs last trip, maybe wahoo, but trying to avoid that next trip. any advice greatly appreciated...

You leave the tag end of your haywire twist long instead of breaking it off flush. That is your pin.

well thats simple enough. what about a chin weight? can you simply slide one over the haywire before doing the final twists?

if you want to have the simplicity and free swimming action of mono but the chafe resistance Box Man showed a simple trick at one of his seminars

but he would have to tell you

Normally I will do my hay wire. My tag end will be about 2" long. I just bend it down slightly and slide the weight down over the whole thing. Then trim off the tag end to the right height.

The next step I do is to line everything up. I will pull tight on my hook to see if the pin is sticking straight up. If not I will give it a little tweak until its exactly inline with the hook.
