I concur fully. Excellent rig. Has saved many a wahoo and kingmac. Good tutorial.

Learned that one 15 or so years ago from Capt. Joe Shute. Awesome rig.

So is this basically a pin rig except etextended all the way through the hook?

That is correct. Both ends of the wire go through the crimp. That way if your mono gets cut at the hook you still have the wire connection to keep the fish on.

I learned this a few years ago while fishing out of morehead. Thanks for sharing with all of us. It's a great rig.

Thats the rig Ive used since about 1989. Caught many fish that chewed through the mono but were saved by the wire loop! Good instructions! Trying to get friends to do it, but it takes a little more time getting that wire pushed through correctly.

Thanks for the tip. I just made up some rigs like you showed. VERY COOL.
