Nice rig! I’ve recently seen a variation (from a charter captain in Madeira) where a small section of single strand wire is added where the mono goes through the hook eye is doubled and crimped and that gives some more stiffness to the rig and prevents bite offs from toothy critters or the mono wearing through on a long marlin fight. Slightly oversized crimps are needed to accept the mono and single strand wire.
No flaring of the mono ends in case of crimp failure, but more importantly - the rig is not straight and the hook is stiff rigged which will both cause the lure to not swim to the best of it's ability, personally I wouldn't go with this rig. You would be better off with having the hook just sitting loosely on the loop which would dramatically increase the stability of the rigging and improve the swimming action. Because the lure head is symmetrical it doesn't have any specific fluid dynamic properties and the hook will take over with a keeling effect, but because the hook has no ability to keel itself due to stiff rigging it's going to be spinning.

Great simple rig, I'm gonna try it in the southern Atlantic.
Heck yes! Let me know how you go.
Nice vid mate, how then do you attach that to ur mainline?
Does it attach to wind on leader or straight to a double?
Whats your opinion on this instead of wire?
Nice tutorial! Do you troll dead bait like this, or do you troll the skirt as is?
Nice 👍🏻
thanks for you video. If I have a chance to use this, I will~
I notice you guys don't use speaker bars when chasing barrels. Do you think they are not needed?
Speaker bar? :/
@@TascastFishing sorry spreader bars i.e bangers teaser

I agree that it is a bit of tinkering to get the hook straight, it is possible though. Thanks for your suggestions :)
The tractor fan joke for sure !
Rivht on !
