What size hooks should I use? Are sheepshead bottom feeders, or mid level? I catch grunts and snapper the most where I fish. I don’t know much about sheeps.
Question why do you need a swivel on the line? Why cant you just have everything on one line? I'm heading to marco Island ne t week for crab and sheepshead fishing
Brent Hoadley you need the swivel to hold the weights if you’re not using a pinch weight. If you’re using a pinch weight then you can tie a uni to uni knot.
Another great video, keep up the good work bro. All the advice is awesome. Kinda difficult to see what your doing. Clear line on a wood desk has poor contrast. Maybe demonstrate with some Ande Green Envy? Just a suggestion.
Yes however the uni has a tendency to break fluorocarbon at the knot but the good news is you don’t need to buy that expensive fluorocarbon as monofilament clear leader works just fine I’ve been catching fish on it for my whole life with great success and you can use stren clear to save money over buying “leader” it has beat the supposedly leader material in abrasion tests
Juan Valadez I put his info in the description and I showed his business card in the video towards the end if you wanna screenshot it and give him a call or an email!
If sheepshead are such light biters, why have the sinker so far from the book? (Carolina rigs same way). It seems the leader will float around and hard to detect bite. But hey, almost everyone uses some rig like this so I'll take your word.
The Salt Strong channel has been doing many line and knot tests and has been surprising us all with the results. Like the FG knot used on 10 lb braid holding to 20 lbs and the modified Uni knot holding so much also. The issue is to get our line to not cut itself at the knot. Great info.
Swing JIg/ Ball & Chain makers Info is in Description!
How about using a drop shot rig for sheepshead? It seems like it would be a good rig for the fish.
Twisty knot = Clinch knot 😁
Caught my first sheepshead today it was 20 inches and it was thanks to this rig! Thanks man !
This is why I like every video. Very educational and understandable. Makes me want to fish every day. Too freaking good

Awesome thanks for the rigging tips. We'll have to try them next time we're around the bridges.

The problem with the fisherman's knot is that it cuts itself off under a lot of pressure. Uniknot is a big upgrade

Football Jig I call them. LoL
Yeah I have the most luck with the split shot rig. Except I like to tie my leader straight to my braid no swivel.
What size hook?
Ball and Chain any particular colors work well
Can you use a uni knot??

@@Snookchaser007 thanks and yes makes sense why my knot broke on my first tarpon a few weeks ago. Thick line at that.
Football jig, they sell them on line!
You can drag them along the bottom too.
I just looked them up, they are very similar. 👍
I gotta go see my daughter soon, she goes to Pensacola college, and I will be fishing there.
Maybe I’ll see you on the water.
is 30 lbs leader to thick?
The heaviest I go is 20lb
Thanks bro
Sent me the info for the guy with those sinkers hooks
Juan Valadez I put his info in the description and I showed his business card in the video towards the end if you wanna screenshot it and give him a call or an email!
Yes please I'm in California but I'm down to buy a bulk
Can you pin a comment with the jig makers info or add it to the description?
yes will do.

Yep that’s what it’s called, got watch my video I put up last week. That “twisty knot” caught a tournament winning sheepshead bud 😂
@@KyleForAwhile Its a clinch knot tho
@@llshamelessll yes correct also known as a “twisty knot” lol, twisty knot sounds cooler haha
