Smart and simple. I have tried several much more complicated ways to double hook them. I really like this one!

[@GourmetFishing]

It works great for the toothy critters

This guy is a fish guru

[@davidmurray8227]

Looks like a simple and easy rig

[@classsickadventurespalawan9693]

will have to try this double hook ballyhoo rig.. have been using single hook rig but all those miss hook still hunts me 😂 .. will upload a video with your double rubber rig 😉

[@GourmetFishing]

It does help to reduce those pesky cut-off. Good luck and use the lightest wire you can get away with...

[@rickbold9337]

Great idea. Wow, simple but effective

[@GourmetFishing]

I learned this back in the 80’s when we trolled for kingfish. It helps cut down a little on the short strike

[@alligator801]

Will the bait swim with the double hooks on the side of the body?

[@GourmetFishing]

Yes, it will. The second hook has a pivot point at the eye which allows it to move.

Hi David I really like your video but please can you tell me which hook number will be the best of the best for kingfish wahoo and tuna fishing please can you message me that will be great of your....thanks

[@GourmetFishing]

I'm glad you like the channel and videos. For Wahoo, I like to use a large hook in the 9/0 to 10/0 range similar to the Mustad 3407-DT or the 7691DT. For Blackfin tuna, I scale things down and use a 6/0-7/0 Mustad 7691DT. I also use the 7691DT when I'm targeting Dolphin, the fish not the mammal, and use the 7/0 size. For Kingfish, when trolling, I use the Mustad 3407-DT 7/0 and a 6/0 needle eye hook and pass the needle eye thru the 7/0 Ring eye. This creates the double hook rig. I hope this helps, David

[@franciscofernandes5321]

Thanks for your reply 👍

[@befmx31]

How does the bait swim with the hooks on the side like that? Thanks.

[@GourmetFishing]

I use small rubber bands that are about the size of a dime. I get them from the hair care aisle in Walmart. I use 2 of them and put them around the ballyhoo and the hooks. it keeps the hook tight to the side of the bait.
