Steelhead Rigs

[tibbs]

Hi,

 

Sorry I haven't been on in a while but I have been busy with school.

 

This week I got all my steelhead equipment with the help of you guys for my b-day but it isn't till the 7th.

 

Anyways I’m just wondering if you guys pre-rig your shots and if so how.

 

Also if I should put the shots on the main line or the fluorocarbon leader.

 

Thanks,

on the MAIN line and use the smallest ones u can... a few extra small ones spread evenly down the main line works the best for me.

Different ways to shot a line. Most people stick shot just on the mainline and have a 16-24" fluorocarbon leader. I almost always put shots on my leader - Sometimes as close as 8-9 inches from the hook. Never had a problem with it weakening. It's just what I have confidence in doing and it works.

 

When I pre rig my rods+reels, I normally just put the shots that I need to noodle up the float (The ones directly below the float). I leave the rest to put on when I get to the river.

 

Happy b-day when it comes around
