Sabiki Bait Rigs

[Redweiser]

Anyone making their own Sabiki type bait rigs ... flies / perch jigs / etc?

I've made my own sabiki's for years, and they fish better than the commercial ones. very easy to tie. I bought a couple hundred stainless hooks on ebay #6 and#8 years ago, and I'm still using them. If I can figure how to post a pic here I'll show some of them to you.

Hey NC

Wiley walked me through the picture posting process a few years back on his old site, should be some info on here some where. I'd like to see some of the bait rigs you're having good luck with.

The easiest thing to do is to go to www.photobucket.com. Upload your pictures there, make sure your account is set to public, then copy and paste the code here.

Have you had a chance to look at any of the photo storage sites?

I've had mixed results from sabiki's I've made.

Made some of these (crappie jigs) .. have to test.

We go through Sabiki's by the doz ... just have to adjust some for certain applications.

Like micro tie-able wire for spanish mackerel / bluefish / etc.

That's what I was thinking but heck, whatever works. I get stuck by those sharp little hooks enough when I'm using a Sabiki, much less trying to tie one up!

I would be curious to see how you're tying up the micro-wire rigs for toothy critters though. We just seem to get lucky with the Spaniards and blues but we also get cut off a lot when they're thick. Mackerel especially seem to have an affinity for chewing the lead weights off 'em too...

I could crimp small sleeves on the nylon coated micro wire but I just tie it.
