My Homemade Quick Strike Rigs

[doublehaul]

Thanks for making this post darkhouse fisher. I took the plunge and bought some Boa no-kink and I'm going to switch to quick strikes this year. Also going to try the shrink tubing on the top hook for an adjustable placement. Anyone have a preferred knot for boa no-kink?  again can't thank you enough for posting this step by step process.

The new In Fisherman magazine has a slick new idea for quick strikes placing free sliding trebles on the leader that is secured into a loop with crimps. Claims more hooks end up engaged in the fish and less likely to snag a hook on the bottom of the ice hole. Made up three and will try tomorrow. Hooks are placed into the bait with points toward the middle which keeps them from pulling out of the bait and offers better hooking when the bait is taken. All very logical to me. The story is titled "Half Way Pike" and is full of great info. I buy crimps locally at my favorite sports shop. They come in all sizes. Just be careful to thread the line through several times for a good, secure bite by the crimp.

Here are some I have made. Once you have the components the crafting of them is addicting.
