Knife jig rigging

[pjstevko]

I managed to find some Mustard Rip Rollers and heavy duty assist hooks in a tackle shop in Kona and will be rigging them up for my trips this summer. I'll use heavy (400#) mono, heavy duty solid rings, ultra ultra split rings and heavy duty assist hooks. My question is how many hooks to put on each jig....

1 set assist hooks on top and on the bottom?
1 set assist hooks on top and big jobo on the bottom?
Single assist hook on top and bottom?

How would you rig the hooks on the jigs?

What is your targetfish and size?  I,m interested as well.

Door#2: jobu on bottom & 2 assists swinging from top

Maybe I'll rig each one up differently and see which one I like best

These guys.  I really like their knife jigs.

Hi Alan!!! Good to hear from you. Hope you are doing well. Getting busy with orders 😆. Almost that time of the year.

I am still working on my site. But for now they can order directly from me. You can always give them my phone number (626) 988-3632  or they can always reach me on

Here's an option that seems to work well. As long as you're using 250+ lb line.

That sounds good. Night time jig fishing you can get away with fishing more hooks.

I usually rig with one assist hook on top and bottom. Some anglers will also fish dual assist top and bottom.

PJ here's a picture of a flat fall that Alan put together for a 3 day BF trip. I believe 10/0 hooks, 300# mono, and soldered split rings.  Note the chafing springs and double crimps.  Bill
