- Want to learn how to make a high low rig?
This rig is really popular for surf fishing, but it’s also great for fishing around structure for tasty fish like sheepshead.
It can be a little complicated to learn how to tie, and definitely takes some practice to get it just right, but in this video, I’m going to show you exactly how to tie it, as well as some common mistakes that most people make (I made one of these mistakes, too!).
Let’s dive in.
Have any questions about tying this rig?
Let me know in the comments!

I remember when my dad and i went fishing and he was using this exact set up and time goes by i forgot how to tie them and it is such a great rig to set up i remember as a kid i used to fish a lot at the piers. Thank you sir you not only help me to relearn this but also remember amazing memories with my old man
We are all about making memories on that water so it is great to hear this brought one back up! Thank you for watching!
After seeing a few videos on this knot I actually thought yours was better than there’s but the experience helped. I agree that big thick line with bright colors is easier to learn from when doing knot tying videos. This is the first video I saved so You must have done something right.
After 3:38 I was completely lost. Too hard to see what's going on. Got more frustrated than anything. Could you please use a bright color filament next time? Thank you.
Me too 😭😭
totally agree. Blocks the sight with his own hands and cannot see whats going on when he´s twisting lines...soooo frustrating
It’s like he doesn’t know we’re trying to learn
Then the audacity to have it sped up the second time as if he explained it well enough the first
I’m right there with ya. Wish he would slow it down a ton I got lost right in the same spot as you
You are AMAZING!!!! Thank you!!!! You are the best on entire internet, thank you very much spent hours searching for good example how to do it and in few minutes with you video I made it !!!!!!
A good tip is to keep a shallow bowl with a bit of water while tying, anytime ur pulling the knot together u can wet the line so it doesnt have as much friction and heat coming together
this was stupid easy! Thanks so much!
you just helped me tie my first ever T-knot and hi-low rig, thank man!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great video, excellent job!
You the best 👍 , thank you 🙏
I can't say thanks enough!!!
thanks for the tutorial! took me some time and a LOT of line but i got the hang of it... lol
Glad it was helpful!
Thx for the help! I got it on my second try!
Nice job! Glad we could help!
thank you very much! keep it up!
Excellent. Thanks
No problem!
I want the name of that song at the end of the video plz tell me ASAP
Mine is similar to this except I don't cut the loops where the knot goes, I like to loop the hooks like you did the sinker for interchangeability or if I want it permanent I use a palomar knot on the hooks, also this way there are two lines holding the hook for added durability against abrasion.
Thanks for the feedback
Thank you so much!
This is the seaguar blue that we know and love. Yes, it is difficult to knot, but it works.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cool video..Thanks. Question: do you think using three-way swivels does not work as well?
No problem! I try to avoid any excess tackle on the rig when possible. 3 way swivels work just fine but if fishing very clean water it may deter fish. Also more gear you'll lose/spend money on if you lose the rigs.
Yea they work fine if you want to use them but it’s less expensive when you lose some of them so I use these
So I am basically saying the same as tony
I'd also recommend weight sliders , especially for the cast eyed weights...they can tear up your line pretty good. And its a bonus cuz of that weight isn't working...you clip it off and add weight...
Or strait slide weights..but often they only go as high as 2 or 3 ounces depending on the bait & tackle store ..
But if you got a Cabela's,/Basspro ( same thing now) or an academy you can find up to 6 ounce sliders...or ofcourse Amazon which I'm sure somebody makes crazy huge ones as well.
Great tips ...great info on proper knots etc...
Thanks for the feedback!
This set up works well in the Aqueduct , keeps you from tangling in a current.
What line should I use on the main line
How much distance between two hooks and weight
just caught a nice striper using this method yesterday. proof that it works well.
What pliers you are using. I liked it
They are our Braid Cutting Split Ring Scissors, check them out here: fishstrong.com/products/braid-cutting-split-ring-scissors?variant=22666593861717
Cheers mate
Cheers!
whenever i tie it and use it my line snaps and i use 26 pound line
How long should the distance between the sinker and bottom hook be?
I usually have the weight about a foot below the 1st hook.
16 inches more or less
Do I have to have 2 hooks on
No. Here's another option: www.saltstrong.com/articles/dropper-rig-for-sheepshead/
I've got that same brand of fishing line but it's just green
💪💪
Look up Sunset Amnesia, the best memory free leader line there is. Never use mono as a leader as it's the devil for coiling up.
👍
Did you learn that with hey skipper?????✌✌✌✌✋✋✋✋
My line always breaks on the sinker
Lol I just tie a 40lb leader then tie palomars to 2 different snap swivels then attach the hooks to them
What is happening at 3:50???
What is your question?
It took me thirty mins to make this
you can get fancy and complicated but i find it unnecessary to have that T joint, i use loop knots for everything but i will put twists in the hook lines to keep them away from the main and it works just fine for me, finding the simplest solution that does the job is the way to go imo
Thanks for the feedback!
god, i made one somehow but I cant make another, the second part, around 3:36, i just get lost, I cant follow that part. the one I somehow managed to make looks great but my brain just checked out. Ill have to try again when I have some coffee
Good luck! Hope that coffee helps! ☕️
I would have preferred to see the vid posted with the rig tied with better hook spacing. Appreciate time is limited but I’ve come to value the high standard of content from Salt Strong. Better to have posted a better final product given how likely viewers are to follow what they see and not what’s said.
You are kiddd=ing, right? Like you can't add a few inches between hooks? Just start tying!
Joe Skaggs not kidding at all. And you kinda missed the point in your reply. I’m a Salt Strong supporter. I’m here watching your content. I’m subscribed, giving upvotes, leaving comments. All those things asked for to improve the metrics. And I was genuine when I made the comment. Hooks are to close. They are likely to tangle. Not guaranteed but to be avoided. People come to Salt Strong for guidance. Better their skills. See how they should be doing it. You’re a better angler than me. Way better. No harm or foul be saying such. But this rig wasn’t tied as well as it should have been and if Salt Strong is giving us the valued and competent guidance I’ve come to appreciate from them; from you ... in this case, post an updated vid and share why spacing on the hooks can matter. No, I wasn’t kidding. Thanks for the content. I’ll be here for the next one.
Can't please people. The spacing depends on the depth of water and structure you are fishing in. He showed a great video and pretty detailed too, on how to make a rig, if you need an exact measurement of spacing, then you must provide all the info of where you fish in at that particular time. Next place you go it may change. Btw you have to find what will work for you and no what works for youtubers unless you are fishing out of their boat with them.
Exactly my confusion. At 3:38 he completely lost me. Not being clear enough when giving specific instructions is extremely frustrating. Thanks
Those things get tangled as heck
It is effective but prone to tangles.
Isn’t this technically a sabiki rig in the making?
the space between tow knot is so close why
He said that u have to make more space smh 🤦♂️
Or, you can just make the whole thing with 3 Surgeon's Loops.
You could! Just wouldn't be as strong
The surgeons loop is half of the t knot so why not just finish
@@budbundy2271 You can if you want to.I don't bother with anything fancy, the fish don't care.
video sux
after the 1st knot i was lost
A dropper loop is a lot easier n stronger then that, second you didn't space out hooks enough your way the hooks WILL TOUCH each other n thangle up LOL
Hi Tony , I like your presentations but this time I’m going to come down a little hard on you. You lack the photographic knowledge of presentation. It’s called contrast. You could have used yellow string and get the lens in closer . Can you imagine your fly tying mentor from 3’ away tying an intricate fly ..?
It’s always light against dark, dark against light .. Shape up matey. Iam a Navy vet and a Salt Strong 💪 Member
how bout you can it robert
@@ryangarvey8207 lol
Hehe. Wrong knot
So confused
Love how horrible this video is with hard to see line gotta watch like 5 times
Sorry about that!
Way too fast. Completely lost.
