Great Now every body knows...
Luckily there is no video's on Jersey rigged..
The're no good.
I glue all my knots.I really don't think the smell bothers em one bit.
Coupla notes on the stainless hooks.
They can be PITA to keep sharpe.You can get a decent point on em with a steel file but they seem to dull out if your fishing em in rocky terrain.
They are more brittle.I have had to toss em after closing the eye.With close inspection I have detected actual cracking of the metal itself.I have found getting em closed up in one good shot is the best bet.I you have mess with it too much your asking for it.
That large pair of channel locks they have in the video is the best tool for the job.


I also believe they are heavier.No I have not weighed em out.It's just my belief.Depending on how/where this can work in your advantage or not..
If you keep em in a brine be sure to keep the hooks in the water.They won't rust as long as they can't get any air on em.I will take em out an throw em in a small coler with a few ice cubes prior to fishing The ice water is enough to limber em up some.
After a few casts an they will limber up just fine.Whether I rigg em with a squid/wobble plate or not I always try to fish with a fresh one out of the box.
