Stainless Steel Wire Stinger Rig for Toothy Fish | Haywire Twist 

@@pismoNH Yeah I'm sure it'd work depending on what you're going after. I don't use them mainly because I don't want a mahi swinging a treble hook around in my kayak.

haha yeah those coquis are super loud here but I don't even notice them anymore

Thanks 🤙 The plastic piece stays on the whole time and I don't think it bothers the bait or the predators. The Coquis are really loud lol.

Thanks! Usually Ono will kink it pretty badly so I typically retie after a strike / landing. Lucky thing the wire is so cheap. Tight lines!

Glad some find it useful. Good luck out there! Lol yeah maybe can make palu with them or something...

Np hope it helps! I always run at least one rig with wire. Fluro is risky because a lot of the time you end up just feeding the onos. However, some days the shibis won't touch wire. Its always a tough call. I always run at least 80 feet of #40 topshot. It also helps to have two rods just in case something happens (boat runs over line and spools you, line birds nested and you gotta chop a bunch off, etc)

@@AffordableWahoo mahalo so much !!!

Generally yes because usually the minute you put a bait out on flurocarbon here the wahoo will insta cut. Definitely get way more and quicker bites from the tunas on fluro though so it's a tough call sometimes!

Good

I still use the Knot2Kinky sometimes for my troll cam leader because it will last a few strikes but for my main rigs I only use the stainless stuff nowdays because it's so much cheaper and faster to rig!

@@AffordableWahoo would you use knot2kinky if it was the same price?

@Team Yak-Attack I'd probably always have at least a couple rigs as backup yeah. Tying the knots is way harder to me than haywire twist so that's another reason I like the stainless

I like how strong they are for their size. When I first started fishing I used to use small MZ hooks but they'd bend open sometimes.

I usually use 44 lb stainless wire now because its so much easier to prep and cheaper. Been working on 40-50 lb fish but probably need 60-80 lb wire for bigger fish.

Yeah I usually do 16-24 inches

@@AffordableWahoo Mahalo

I just tie my leader to the swivel with a Palomar knot. My leader is only 40lb fluro. I have a friend who uses bigger leader and a trolling swivel and still gets bites.
