How to Tie a Fishin' Mortician Rig and Catch More Fish 

I just moved to France and this rig is the most common with this specification. The main line is 2.5 time the cane length. To not expose the braided line to the shock of the weight. The snoot length starts around 2ft upto 6ft. 3 snoots are very common. The first one at 4in from the weight. And 3ft between one and two, same between two and three. Main advantage you fishing different spices of fish. Flonder at the bottom with worm, and squid and fish bait on the other.

Thanks for the video, guys. The first time I had ever heard of the Mortician rig. Will be definitely trying this out. Look forward to more videos!! Dave, Adelaide, Australia.

Paul Anderson. Deep thinking innovative surf master.

That's just like my grandfather's rigs he used to make. He used Eagle Claw pre snelled j-hooks. The simplicity seems to make a big difference. He outfished everyone.

we use those for Atlantic cod, for long lining. when you use different test line we use 100 pound mainline and 50 pound new lines 10 to 12 inches long until they came out with the clips.

Thanks for the video. I bought a double-dropper fishing mortician rig from The Sinker Guy because it looked useful. Now I understand it’s versatility. Tight lines!

The Mortician rig seems a good idea however I would think the heavy main line would spook many fish, especially Pompano. Might be very useful for reds or blues or sharks. Seems everybody and their uncle is showing this online (RU-vid), calling it by different names. Hope the guy or gal that thought it up gets the credit. Thanks for sharing it. Great video!

thank you, y'all anticipated all my questions, really clear and well done!

Great job guys!!!! You are naturals in front of the camera!!!!

Nice I was looking for something like this

Thanks for sharing this info awesome!!

I been tying this rig for around 50 years, so the "Fishing Mortician" Did Not create this rig ! It is a great rig.

Sinker guy is chip brundage

Good video. Thnx

This was good, but I think it would be more benificial if you use cord to demenstrate. Very hard to see against your back round. But thank you for the learning process.

The problem with using the double overhand loop knot on the leader is that in warm water monofilament becomes pliable and could back off of itself and if a big fish takes your hook it can break your line through friction

🎣 Snood comes from UK anglers! It can be hook Snood/s and sinker Snood/s. Also, Traces, - hook and sinker traces. 🎣

14:00 any reason to not use a perfection loop?

Very hard to see the actual tieing of the knots , Close uo camera work would be better !!

I’m interested in the specs on your rig board. I don’t have access to tools etc n wonder if you might build me one? Of course payment would be made. I don’t see anyone selling rig boards might be an opportunity here

The reason for using fluorocarbon for the main leader line is it does not absorb water and degrade. Thus it can be used for at least one season if not two as on a mortician it's only holding the weight as the bite leaders are separate. Fluoro does not degrade with storage or time I water or uv rays or heat. There are tons of reasons why fluoro is superior in all situations u less you want the line to float. Tge only reason to use mono otherwise is its cheap but you really should throw away any mono a yr or more old so how much is wasted. Also it should not be used in water for more than a day.vxo so many reasons for high quality fluoro.

Dude looks a little bit like joe from “impractical jokers”

Next time wear a dark shirt.

Paul. Not sure his last name

7or11 it's a knot thing

Too bad the video quality isn’t great everything is very dark can’t really see what you’re doing it would be a great education if you did you see the latest setting so you could really see if you’re not experience like you are what you doing

it's a snoot not a snood

this rig is so lame. why can't u just do 1 dropper loop fast and easy and not have to worry of it slipping, then attach the the other line instead of making 2 figure 8 knot. better way doing this rig is put a swivel inside a close dropper loop or attach the swivel the same as u do a hook then after attach any line hook u want. with using the swivel u don't gotta worry bout ur line getting twist.
