How To Tie an EASY Stand Off Rig for Bottom Fish , Blackfish , Seabass 

i had such a hard time building a mackerel rig but found this way easier, thanks a bunch! 🎏

I really like this! Easy and strong rig.

Looks simple and easy to tie

Nice one Joey. Another very informative tutorial.

Excelente tutorial. Thank you!!!

Another great how to video!!! U guys should also check out the snafu rig he’s tied!!! Many a blackfish lost their lives to it 😁😁

Thanks

I really liked how quickly you could tie this, how clean it is, simple. I tried with different test line, tried adding another turn to the knot, tried going crazy pulling it tight. I must have tested it 20 times. When i simulated a fish and pulled from the hook the knot slipped everytime. I tried multiple times with 40lb mono thinking it was me but couldn't get more than 12lbs of pressure before it slipped. It didn't matter what test mono or flouro i used, it slipped. To compare, with a basic 6 turn dropper loop i get 30lbs of realistic pressure before it slips. I really wanted to like this rig but I don't think im making a mistake tying it and its just not fishable for me. I use a spring scale to measure. Machines are useful but i don't think they give you real life numbers. I get 95%+ with a 5 turn uni knot using 40lb mono on the machine. In real life it's more like 80-85%.

Cool, will try this rig out.

Excelente tutorial. Truly appreciate the blackfish lesson!!! I noticed in the opening pictures of the tutorial a Diawa coastal reel. Do you recommend this reel and what model is it? Thank you again

Nice instructional vid! I may have missed it mentioned but do you use flouro to tie these or regular mono leader material?

That was awesome 👏

Thanks I started using this last season but sometimes the line with the hook wraps itself around the main line though.

Great video. Nice work, Joey.

Awesome video!!! Now i know how to tie a good stand off rig, i need to get a spool of 80# leader lol

love it ty but shouldnt the hook be facing the opposite way ? you had the gap facing inward .

Great vid. Thank you.

Nice rig you are amazing

Like the rig making videos

Great video and beautiful release at the end!

One question about that rig. Do you think it matters if the hook point is facing the mainline or away from it? I always tie mine with the hook point facing out. Just curious

I have a quick question, I am going on my first deep sea fishing charter for fluke and sea bass and I have a conventional reel with 50lb fluorocarbon. For this standoff rig, can I use a Berkeley gulp soft plastic minnow using this rig or is this rig meant for natural baits like squid etc?

Thanks that was simple

Gracias

Question: is this rig better for blackfish than the blackfish jigs? Im ALWAYS getting snagged on the rocks at the jetty. I will be using green crab. Thanks!

Hey wise guy thanks from OC maryland !! Lol for real love ny I am from Long Island my old man is still there anywhonhsve s good one thanks for the vid

Nice info dude

So, what lbs line would you use for black fish?

Thank You.

What bait would you use ???

Hey bro would this rig work well for fluke jigging?

Why a perfection loop for the sinker? Is there a reason or you just like that knot? You could also make a large dropper for the hook or do a cut dropper. I like to use the cut on the top bucktail for fluke.

Maybe work for boat fishing where you can let fish run abit. I fish from shore and this knot will not hold it. Where i fish the drag will be lock because fish will run for the rock and wont come out, this knot broke on big fish because of frictions. Only uni knot for the swivel and loop knot for the hook can handle the tog power. Tight line.

Your sinker sitting on the bottom how far should your hook be away from the sinker

Can you use this rig for a worm ball for striper fishing?

Why is the hook facing inward seems like it would be in a better position to strike facing outwards

Good Shit

What lb test do you actually use for the rig?

Is that sinker loop adjustable?

Have you tried this rig tying white jigs on instead of hooks? Also, what do you use for bait? squid? Thanks for the tutorial.

Much easier way to do this

why why did you make that so easy? you gotta make them harder next time! lol this was super easy i was have issues trying knots due to my disabilities and this worked.

I can use that same rig for seabass and porgies to?

What size hook should I use for black fish

Why not just use a dropper loop

Can I use this rig for 20lb test? ... For river fishing

Most people use mustad Virginia hook 4/0

Ok sogod 👌

I wouldn’t use that rig ,the loop for the sinker looks like it won’t pull out if it gets hung up .

I thought u were using 80lb for demonstration purposes 🤔

if you conveniently also included how to tie that hook into the line, you would've gotten more likes and views.
