Jigging Assist Hook - DIY - Part II
Jigging Assist Hook - Knotless / Splice
This is one of my favourite DIYs. So lets go through some of the 'ingredients' needed :-)
3) Splicing Needle
And off we go!!! It took me a few trials and errors in the beginning to get it right. And since the needles and kevlars comes in different sizes, you need to match them. And the main thing is to estimate the amount of kevlar needed, and the points where you want to insert the splicing needle.
Start off by inserting the needle completely in the hollow kevlar.
One of the common question ppl have with this way of splicing is 'won't the knot slip?'. The beauty of this knot is that, once you pull on both end of the knot, the entire kevlar is being tighten. So the harder you pull, the tighter the entire knot becomes. I've tried pulling the knot with 60lbs nylon leader and the leader gave way. Of course, for additional security, apply some glue on some crucial points, or wrap the crucial points tightly with dental floss.
Hope the above pictures are informative :-)
