Quickest Way To Rig A Ballyhoo With A Circle Hook

It's ballyhoo rigging time!
In particular, naked ballyhoo circle hook time!
Want to know the best (and quickest) way to rig ballyhoo when using a cirlce hook (IGFA rules while fishing for billfish in tournaments)?
Then check out this awesome ballyhoo rigging tip from the guys at Ripper Fishing.
See the full blog post here: www.saltstrong.com/fishing-ti...
Some of the most important tips from this bluewater fishing video:
1) Troll your naked ballyhoo 4-6 knots. Anything more will have you rigging new baits all day long
2) Use a heavy wire circle hook. It's not worth taking the risk of losing a big marlin or tuna
3) Keep it simple. You don't need a bunch of wire or fancy dressing. Just a simple rubber band and an non-offset circle hook will do

Thanks for the tip. And kudos to the camera person - excellent close, focused shots so that the viewer can actually see what you're doing.

Thanks for the great tip! I'm sure this technique will work for o=ther species, i.e. King Mackerel, etc ...

Cool! I use zip tie but your rubber band not bad...

[@pauliden9090]

What size rubber band would you use for a medium sized ballyhoo?

[@flash521]

Question - no sinker? Why? Can you add a sinker? Why or why not? Thank you for your presentation. Excellent teacher. Baja Sur MX - Sea of Cortez

[@crosario911]

This tipe of rig, is good for MahiMahi, Blue Dolphins?

[@ACRBunny]

Could you use this rig trolling for other predator species such as Kings, Mahi etc.

[@pauliden9090]

Can you troll with this rig, or is it for dropping back only?

[@davidharris8797]

Why use snell?

[@GabooNx]

I am surprised that no companies have developed a Swimbait for this type of fishing..

[@porkchopspapi5757]

One of these how to ballyhoo channels says to remove the guts. That the bait will last much longer. Anybody know about that?

[@cryptwrath162]

Cool vid but that part when you pushed the waste out was the nastiest thing I've ever seen

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

Couldn't do it on a table not on a bar

[@trumpafarian7129]

You snelled the hook incorrectly.
