In this video I will show you how to make a SNAFU rig for Blackfish using one piece of Fluro Carbon. Please watch my other videos and subscribe to my channel.
Jon_Mo_Fish I just made a bunch with Virginia style hooks. Those in the video are not circle. They are octopus style. I would not use circle hooks for Tog. But that’s just me.
Everyone did a video on the SNAFU but almost no one showed it where it connects, in relation to the sinker. Thanks For The Video, were starting in on the day after X-mas (2019) until the season closes.
lefty k Actually after this video I went to using red line and it’s much easier to see. Please check out my other videos and you can see the difference with the red fishing line. Also thank you for watching
I don’t put swivels on hook leaders. I would just pre tie a bunch , give yourself 5/6’ and then put swivel on. It’s best to have a bunch of rigs ready, especially if the bite is hot.

Reaper Fishing NJ thank you for the comment and thank you for watching. I been slacking on new content due to building a new home.
Great video and by far made simple for someone to follow
Thank you.
Just make a big dropper loop rig and cut the loop in half and snell that way
I actually have done that.
Can I use a Virginia Hook or does it work better with Circle hooks?

Nice rig, definitely will try it.
LongIsland Lethals thank you. Send photos
thanks for the video...do you use this only with whole crabs when targeting bigger fish?
J Fisher mainly for whole crabs but also two halves.
Can I use polomer knots instead of snelling?
Ebon compton I would think you can. Give it a try. Main thing is keep them even.

Thank you for watching.
I’m gonna try this rig this weekend. Do you like the hooks that low?
The ides of march yes I like close to bottom. N like shorter leaders to
Have you ever used the lazy snuffy style? The one with the two hooks in one line?
Yes I have. Was gonna make a video on it. It works well.
@@FishingLongIsland Thats all I needed to hear. Thanks
What reel do you use for blackfish? I mean when you fished crab and conventional with a sinker..no jigs.
I have a Lexa 300
Also saltiga 20
Hey looks like it could be a great video if you hadnt used a white table. Please reconsider doing the same video with a darker backing . Pleaseeee

Ok cool
Im heading out in the morning from waterford ct using info from your video wish me luck. 1st time for black fish.
lefty k good luck brother
but what if your mainline is braid? where and how do you attach it?
Richie G I always have a shock leader. You really don’t want straight braid near the rocks.
@@FishingLongIsland im sorry,, I should have been more clear.. I am asking how you connect the mono to the braid if you are fishing mainline braid
Richie G ohhhhh LoL. I use an improved allbright aka Alberto knot. You can also use FG knot or uni to uni
How long between the sinker and the swivel? (I'm tying rigs in advance)
Are you talking a swivel between the hooks in the leader or a swivel between the leader and your main fishing line?
If you a pre-tying leaders I would give yourself a good 5 foot section of leader and then have a swivel and then connect that to your bread
@@FishingLongIsland I have braid reverse Albright to mono to swivel to rig
I don’t put swivels on hook leaders. I would just pre tie a bunch , give yourself 5/6’ and then put swivel on. It’s best to have a bunch of rigs ready, especially if the bite is hot.
No weight?
Rich Dunn weight on bottom loop
