HOW TO TIE KNOTTED SINGLE ASSIST HOOKS 

Glad you liked it

Cheers!! :)

:) my pleasure

splicing is still the best way, this is just another way of doing things :)

depends on weave of the assist cord, size of the core, size of the splice needle and the shape and thickness of the tag end you are trying to pull through. Some are really easy, some are nearly impossible...

​@@samdewaele7958 whatever it may be, this, in the video, is still an easier method. Take it from someone who can splice Varivas SS Assistline with ease.

@@TheFishingKit First of all great video, but i'm curious to know which latch/hook needle you using to splice the Varivas SS assitline? I'm having a hell of a time getting the assist line through itself.

:D all the best Jesus! :)

@@TheFishingKit thank you very much

I made it - It's just nylon...tied into a loop!!! :)

won't be as good as real assist cord, but yes.

remember normal braid is not abrasion resistant at all. i would go with assist line.

@@miamiwax5504 yea, but if you have left over braid and have nowhere to get cord, it's better than nothing. At times, we have to make use of what we have....

@@miamiwax5504 what is "normal braid"? Literature says that UHMWPE has better abrasion resistance vs kevlar. Does the usage of kevlar vs UHMWPE have not more historical, marketing and manufacturing reasons? Meaning, we started using kevlar first, now we are used to it, so now it gets promoted as being "better" even if science says otherwise? "3.5 Abrasion Resistance Test. The test was performed according to the standard (ASTM D3885 - 07) his test method covers the determination of the abrasion resistance of woven or nonwoven textile fabrics using the flexing and abrasion tester. Kevlar fabric fatigued after of 100,000 abrasion cycles and lost about 20% of its weight, while Dyneema fabric lost the same weight after 1,000,000 abrasion cycles. Table 7. shows abrasion resistance test results for Kevlar and Dyneema fabrics. Figure 7. shows Weight for Kevlar and Dyneema fabrics before and after testing." "4. Conclusion. The low density of the Dyneema fibers with high strength property is the basis for very high tenacity related to their weight. It was presented that Dyneema has a unique combination of properties being the strongest man-made fibers. Also showed Dyneema fabric has good abrasion resistance due to a lower friction coefficient, thus Dyneema tends to bend when it creates a loop or knot, while the Aramid filament tends to break."

Same thing, but you need a longer thength for the solid ring piece then you tie off to a hook. I'll make a video soon.

Slow jigging hooks are thinner because you use thinner lines in slow jigging.

@@TheFishingKit Thanks~!So what about the shapes?Is it different between them?

@@leopan723 Search in the channel for the video about jigging hooks - I talk about shapes there. Each design is specific for something for Japanese companies - you can't use a slow jigging hook for fast jigging and you can't use fast jigging hooks on slow jigging.
