How I rig my hoochie tail leaders for commercial salmon trolling. I know there are lots of different ways to do it but this is the set up that has worked well for me.
Thanks for sharing the 26” leader lengths. I’m not crazy about a single hook for recreational purposes since we’re legally allowed 2 single point barbless.
When I fish with rods, I will use 40lb test as well. This rig is for when I'm using commercial gurdies. The fish doesn't get to run on gurdies. It just pounds away until I am able to bring it to the surface and land it, so these need to stand up to up that. These will also last through many fish before I need to tie a new leader.
