Quick take
A hand-tied two-hook bottom rig on heavy fluorocarbon with an offset sinker loop, designed for fishing whole or halved crabs for blackfish.
This ten-pack of hand-tied blackfish rigs puts two snelled 3/0 offset baitholder hooks on a 60 lb fluorocarbon leader of roughly 55 inches, with an 80 lb ball-bearing swivel and a dropper loop for the sinker. It is built for bottom fishing around structure in the Northeast, where whole or halved crabs are the usual bait for tautog. Tie on, clip a sinker to the bottom loop and send it down.
Best for
- Blackfish (tautog) fishing in Northeast waters
- Rocky structure and hard bottom
- Fishing crabs, clams, or small baitfish
Skip if
