One thing that dude said i disagree with is rigging bait without eyes.My great uncle was an avid striper and offshore fisherman and always told me as a kid a predator fish will not eat a bait without eyeballs.It always stuck in my head.we use to catch huge grey trout from oregan inlet and if the eyes got knocked out the trout would not eat them.Now on a trolling lure it may be different and some may argue it doesnt matter but the eyes stay in all my baits.

150# big eye i caught in OBX rigged the same way.....might have been luck

BTW i just poke the wire thru the eyes too..

the EZ twist tool is a blessing. i can make twists both way (pliers and the EZ). i prefer the EZ tool hands down.

Small wire is a lot harder to wrap than large wire. I've never used a tool of any kind other than when making a safety-pin rig. I break the wire off the coil, wrap the leader then break the wire clean.

My wife is out of town right now and I don't think I can do a video alone.

Practice with # 7 or # 9 wire until you master the technique. # 18 is hard on the fingers but #2 is harder.

CAUTION!!! Don't be stingy with the amount of wire you use for the loop and wraps. If you try to wrap with a very short tag end, you are gonna get punctured.
