depends on weave of the assist cord, size of the core, size of the splice needle and the shape and thickness of the tag end you are trying to pull through. Some are really easy, some are nearly impossible...
@@samdewaele7958 whatever it may be, this, in the video, is still an easier method. Take it from someone who can splice Varivas SS Assistline with ease.
@@TheFishingKit First of all great video, but i'm curious to know which latch/hook needle you using to splice the Varivas SS assitline? I'm having a hell of a time getting the assist line through itself.
Very helpful. Thanks Kit. I've watched your video making your own assist cord using PE line, and it was x4 100lb lines. Can I use use like an x8 strand 120lb PE line for my shore jigs (15g to 30g) to make similar assists? struggling to find strong assists for my smaller jigs. Love from Egypt.
@@miamiwax5504 yea, but if you have left over braid and have nowhere to get cord, it's better than nothing. At times, we have to make use of what we have....
@@miamiwax5504 what is "normal braid"? Literature says that UHMWPE has better abrasion resistance vs kevlar.

Hello from New Zealand. Thanks so much for making this informative video! A question...what material is used to make the loop that you use to pull through the line end under the 4 loops please?
@@leopan723 Search in the channel for the video about jigging hooks - I talk about shapes there. Each design is specific for something for Japanese companies - you can't use a slow jigging hook for fast jigging and you can't use fast jigging hooks on slow jigging.
@@TheFishingKit I can’t find it. Only for eyed hooks and spade end hooks but nothing for the spade end hooks with holes. Can you pls share the video?! Thanks 🙏🏽
@@tomtomdestajoaltejos1335 ooooh!!!! spade heads with the holes? no, haven't made one yet. sorry, didn't understand your question till now. Will keep this in mind, but can't really say when I can do this.
The Nail knot grips the shank tightly. The quick Snell is no good because it just bumps up against the spade and can cut through. The knot MUST grip the shank. Don't believe me ? Try it with light mono. It will break easily, even with an eyed hook.
Thank you! I have been having a heck of a time getting the assist cord pulled through itself with the assist cord needle. This is so much easier.
splicing is still the best way, this is just another way of doing things :)

Helpful as usual thanks
The white background made the details better
Glad you liked it

won't be as good as real assist cord, but yes.
remember normal braid is not abrasion resistant at all. i would go with assist line.

Keep up the great work brother, loving the classes!
Cheers!! :)
Great video as always Kit! Thanks for the tips!
:) my pleasure
u can use a snell knot instead of a nail knot
not going to be as clean, but technically you can.
Quick Snell is no good.
Hello from New Zealand. Thanks so much for making this informative video!
A question...what material is used to make the loop that you use to pull through the line end under the 4 loops please?
I made it - It's just nylon...tied into a loop!!! :)
Great help so what say you want to put 2 hooks and tie them on thanks
Hello kit for this video I know now how to do this knot for the hooks 👍🎣💙
:D all the best Jesus! :)
@@TheFishingKit thank you very much
why slow jigging hooks are different from the fast jigging hooks？
Slow jigging hooks are thinner because you use thinner lines in slow jigging.
@@TheFishingKit Thanks~!So what about the shapes?Is it different between them?

Hello. Nice work. How do you make double hook one. Thanks.
Same thing, but you need a longer thength for the solid ring piece then you tie off to a hook. I'll make a video soon.
Thank you
You're welcome
Sir parequest po how to tie spade hooks with eye for fast and slow jig. TIA🙏🏽
lots in the channel! check out the rigging videos.
@@TheFishingKit I can’t find it. Only for eyed hooks and spade end hooks but nothing for the spade end hooks with holes. Can you pls share the video?! Thanks 🙏🏽

@@TheFishingKit Yes, you mentioned it on one of your video. It’s alright I will wait for it. Thank you for very much sir!

The knot MUST grip the shank.
Don't believe me ?
Try it with light mono.
It will break easily, even with an eyed hook.
Is it OK to just use a Palomar knot?
you can try...see if works for you.
No.
The knot has to grip the shank tightly.
If not, it can cut through on the spade end.
Just tie it as shown.
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🤔🤔
