Rigging Ballyhoo: How To Rig A Skirted Ballyhoo The Quick Way
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ค. 2017
- Want to know the fastest way to rig a ballyhoo (skirted) like the pros do?
Then check out this awesome ballyhoo rigging tip from the guys over at Team Ripper Fishing. It's certainly the best way to rig ballyhoo that we've seen.
This style of rigging ballyhoo requires no flossing, no wire, no rubber bands, and none of the "traditional" ways of dressing up a ballyhoo (which take forever).
This method also makes your ballyhoo last longer and in some cases can go 4+ hours before getting washed out.
Why ballyhoo?
Well if you are bluewater fishing for pelagics (from billfish to wahoo to mahi mahi), then using a ballyhoo for bait can be one of your best choices to catch more offshore fish.
Any questions on the rig or tackle we used in the video to rig this ballyhoo?
Let us know in the comments.

Great video, especially for a offshore beginner like myself. Thank you!
Nicely done gentlemen the crimps are. Rel game changer ! I grew up in south Florida before they h good Crimping supplies and we tied everything with wire many many poked bleeding fingers late at night. Getting ready for the next morning ! Eventually. I did find a pair of Stanley brand small Needle nose pliers in a hardware store I still have and got pretty good with working on 80lb Stainless Wire with I also found that using a small Jewlers Vise helped me as well for me knowing my mechanical windings. And ties. We’re holding. Always gave me a real satisfaction years ago my Brother-in-law questioned why on my boat I was so Adamant about what rods. Each person got to use and my answer was simple even though they might all look the same to him they are marked and I know who rigged each and everyone so if a failure occurs I know who did the Sloppy work
Watched this video a couple of times because it is so informative...
Going to emulate everything that you done in the video.... Every time I watch your video i'm learning a new technique....
Thank You for your video!! I am going to try this!! Live on the boat, full time, fishing all the time...I do catch quite a few, but hopefully this will up my game!!
nice tips, can't wait to try rigging my own!
Thanks for sharing this bud ,very informative, this was big! We seen you yesterday morning ,white ram truck with old seacraft and a new yamaha , your boat looks great we slayed the yellowtail snapper limited out 👌🎣🤘🍻
Great info, thanks guys. Tight lines!
Great Video Fellas, great stuff!
Great video an tips guys
Great video, my understanding of circle hooks is that they should be unubatructed to be efective, I'm curious to see how well the do when placed inside the ballyhoo.
Great video! Very easy to understand!
At what speeds do you troll the baits?
Do you troll them in the motor wash or where in the spread?
Do you ever troll with birds?
thanks
Awesome👍👍👍👍👍👍 up to your experience what do you say if we tied uni knot instead of the crimp way dose it work?
If it is not can you tell me why waiting your answer
Thank you
Nice! No nonsense.
Ok. I’ll see if works here in San Diego yesterday 7/11/21 we saw a Marling jumping out the water in the Butterfly Bank, Can’t wait ,Good Video
very informative, thumbs up
Fishing Channel How do you tie it to your own line?
Big hook! What size mainline do you use?
Hi Who makes the skirts you like using and what are the colors you like best?Thanks Gary
Where do you get the springs? or what kind of spring is it ?
How close to the back of the boat do you troll this rig?? Right in the prop wash, or outside of the wake line??
Can you give me a link for the blue and white jig you use in this video?
What brand is the lure in the video?
nice rig gentleman ... however, that hook is HUGE! Fishing the outer Banks of North Carolina we use smaller. ...A smaller skirt and a smaller hook. still land large Dolphin... and if they're not trophy size that's okay. Fuel is expensive ---We're out there to put meat in the cooler. Thanks guys - great vid!
What/how do you tie to main line?
where do you buy the ring ?
Hey fellas , new to the offshore game so if my question is dumb just let me know . We fish the canyons off Virginia and Maryland and a lot of people use weights and pop out the eyes . Do I need to do all this because your set up looks a lot cleaner and neater then what I'm seeing up here . Thanks guys , tight lines !!
No dumb questions here,
The skirts for the "ballyhoo", or garfish, have a weighted head so it isn't necessary to weight your fish. Popping out the eyes will have no effect either as the skirt covers it.
Also, personally i use white skirts with vertical, red stripes. I align the red stripes with the lateral line of the fish, it effectively represents bloodflow of the fish and suggests it is an easy target.
Happy fishing mate
No hook for short strikes? Only one hook?
What are these springs called? Where can I buy them?
mandi9700 bass pro shop
Been using springs for a few years now. So much easier and better hook ups
Where are you buying your springs?
What is your leader length?

Where do you get the springs?
I seen your videos. I fish Marathon all the time. I will be down there this december and january per my usual trip. in my opinion you guys do a lot of talking on your videos that doesn't really pertain to knowledge or how to with fishing which looses attention. Also you guys really try to be persistent on subscribing. Good steady content will always give you subscribers. If you're going to talk in all your videos for the first 5-6 minutes before a bait hits the water then talk about how you're rigging, what is the target species, what are the depths, why did you choose that spot, was the current pushing more at 100 or 150, water are the water temp changes, what ledge are you going off, things like that. Showing how, what, and where and providing good content will get you your subscribers.
anytime and I only gave it because I care I love marathon its my favorite place to fish. JON B on youtube has some of the best editing skills i seen. Watch a few of his they are well put together. I completely understand being new to this and I am no expert on doing it I just know I watch a shit ton of fishing content and have a good idea on why I watch certain people over others. I hope you guys do well marathon is a hidden gem, you have the reefs, the ledge off the reefs for pelagic, the humps as always for mani and tuna, the back side for flats fishing, cobia, mackerel, permit, and more. the 7 mile is always fun and the vacate cut is good for cudas
What kind of lures you using in this video
no need to put planer...?
😯
Line to heavy. You need to tell the old man that tuna are shy and you can catch way more on 80 lbs Floro
What about adding a weight*
What's with the huge hooks...? Maybe for a Blue One....but Tuna and Mahi....Really? .................and for serious Wahoo fishing don't you use wire? ....
Just an ole salt from OBX......asking for a friend...?
Just say alloy crimps :)
Why squeeze poop out ¿
So...... Imagine you spend all that time on rigging your ballyhoo and all that money on gas, but you still get skunked.😳
I don't really understand the reason for using a skirt instead of just the fish it looks very unnatural to me
unnatural to you but to the fish, they like it
It protects your bait from being ripped off by the water.
Poop on the counter and on the floor, clean up your act.
Have a bucket at leasr
Least
the quick way?? whats the long way? took these clowns 15 minutes to rig one ballyhoo with a bunch of sleeves featuring an appearance by giant bolt cutters. this is the longest way i could possibly imagine rigging a ballyhoo without catching the fish first
Because they where showing how to do it... it takes s lot less
this video is terrible lmao
