This explained a lot. I remember noticing the tape on your demon dragons but never realized this was how you tied them to your line. Two less knots is two less knots that could fail. Great idea.
I just make sturgeon's loop with only 1 "wrap" - So basically you take a loop of line, and then tie it into an over hand knot. Now you have a loop at the end of the line. You put the tag end through the eye of whatever lure/hook, and then through the loop you made in your line, now just pull it tight. If using 40lb or larger mono this can be reversed and you can "re-tie" without actually using any knots. Hopefully that makes sense. Never seen it done, or I'd share an example video.
Tape will work but I use a small rubber band (wife gives me plenty of rubber bands for hair). The rubber band is about the size of a dime and will hold the demon dragon in place on the line and you can still slide it up/down the line if needed.
I wonder how they would work in a lake with zero current … if you think they would work over plain yellow peg floats - why would that be ? Thanks Dieter
Haven't used them yet that's why I'm watching this video but I would guess if you're using live bait with a slip weight rig it would rattle even in a currentless lake
Bank fishing, as I do, and occasionally fishing under a balloon, do you think this rig would catch fish? Probably depends on how fast the wind is blowing the balloon out, right?😅

Crazy that you posted this... I just bought my first pack lol
Bam!! Timing!!
Great info Dieter , totally enjoyed thanks.
Thanks for the info Dieter! It's much appreciated!
Great video! Was just researching rigs to chase big blues tonight!
Thank you!!

Great tip !!
Great quick tutorial.. I hadn't though about my slides lettin the baits fly.
Thanks for pointing that out.. d:^)
Now all I have to do is go get a couple and try this. Example 1 is nice so you can adjust it according to the size of your bait. Good stuff!!
Thanks for checking it out and commenting!!

Well this was perfect timing lol
I planned it that way!

Ya, wind plays with balloons and floats
Small rubber bands work good to hold the float also
Thanks for the info. I like # 1
I have a box full of old jerk baits with no hooks, could I use those instead of the demon floats or whatever you called those?
Do lot bank fishing got my rattles, what waight do I use keep it at bottom,
I’d use 2-3 ounce bank weights depending on the current…
I use them on 2 hook Kentucky rig with the rattle on top while dead sticking in the muddy river
Could you bank fish with these and have success?
I use a bobber stop to keep mine in place
Great video.. I plan on doing some drifting for blues. What size weight do you use normally for drifting in reservoirs?
Usually 1 1/2 - 2 ounces….
@@DieterMelhorn awesome, thank you sir.
The second set up I’d be afraid of hanging into a big one and the eye pulling out.
My bait gets around the weight, and the float do you have any ideas
How much weight can be used on it? and size hook?
Will it tangle around the line when casting
Generally no, but keep an eye out, it can occasionally happen.
@@DieterMelhorn that's what I'm afraid of smh thank you for all u do as a fellow fishermen
What kind of boat do you have
A Carolina Skiff 198 DLV….
@@DieterMelhorn I use the santee rig but I use a cigar float bobber for it. Is that for the rig
Do they work from the bank
In a lake
