Now your talking. IMO the best lure for the canal. I also make my own rigs. I am lucky enough to get ahold of a great mold every winter from what I consider the best old school canal fisherman still alive today. My opinion could be bias. I make the rings at work and trade him for use of the mold. I have several hundred ready to go. He goes to Fla. every winter and he uses the rig to land many big wahoo. He tells me they used to troll them off P-Town with good success. I tried them on Billingsgate this year a few times without any luck.They work on the open beach at nite too but a good tidal flow is where they shine. I prefer a skin where the inside dia. of the skin is just big enough to go over the ring on the jig. I rig them up inside out and outside in. Like previous post only a few in. behind tail hook. I have a big container of brine with lots of skins in my fridge. Some as old as 4 years. I rig them a few at a time. Also if you have been lucky enough to talk to another expert Stan K. he can talk for hours about the history and how to make, and use the rig. He prefered to use a rig with just one hook. He said that over time he found the tail hook got stuck in the fishes gills and can kill them if you are going to release them. I have not found that problem but he has caught a hell of a lot more fish than I have. P.M.
