Pretty easy to make. some leader material, some small egg sinkers and some squids, one hook and you're in business.

We make our own as well. That way we can mix up the shell squid patterns and stingers. Still buy the components from the guys we bought the completed rigs from and we still have them make some up as well. I rig my own spreader bars now too.
|
Why even try.........

I'll take that bet and offer a question. What exactly do I need to buy at the supply store? A list with detailed instructions would be nice. I'll prob go tomorrow.
