The hook is then added, it prefer long shank Aberdeen style hooks, before the second stopper is slid on the line and pushed up against the hook and bottom stopper. Producing the rig is a simple matter of threading the rig body line through the stopper wire and sliding the first stopper on the line, moistening the line helps to prevent friction damage.
I use the small version which measure 7mm by 1.7mm and fit securely on 0.16mm flourocarbon line. They make the production of the float stop drop shot rig simple and produce an effective rig.Ī bit of experimentation has shown that the best ones to use are the small, cylindrical versions which I have found on the Aliexpress website. These small rubber like stops are readily available in various shapes and sizes from UK and European tackle shops, in particular those that stock freshwater tackle.
Float Stopper SolutionĪfter some thought I have managed to find a simple solution to my lack of dexterity, float stops. A bit like the proverbial camel and needle eye.Ī simple method is available to construct a float stop drop shot rig. However using hooks of size 10 or smaller for Light Rock Fishing, LRF, does tend to exasperate me as I try to thread the fine line through what seems to be a constantly diminishing target hole. It is relatively simple to pass the loop of trace line through the hook eye and complete the Palomar knot to produce the stand-off hook position. Tying larger hooks for rigging a drop shot for wrasse or other larger species is not a problem. Trying to secure small hooks with a Palomar knot knot while using fine monofilament or fluorocarbon lines constantly results in a stream of swear words from me. I can’t be the only person who finds that failing eyesight and less than dexterous fingers make it frustratingly difficult to produce drop shot rigs.
