Feathers / Hokeyes
Suitable for cod, pollack, wrasse, coalfish and mackerel. Although most people simply use the shop bought traces it is possible to build or adapt your own hokeye rig which is safer for casting.
These can be fished on their own or baited. See here for how to chop and rebuild a shop bought hokeye – Hack a Hokeye
Hokeye Rig Components
Main Body
1 x Oval Split Ring or swivel
1 x Lead Link
Approx 1.5 metre length 50-80lb BS main line
The Rig Body
1. Tie on the lead link.
2. Tie on the oval split ring.
3. Tie three suitably spaced blood loops and cut the loops. Commercial traces tend to use water knots which is why the lures hang differently depending upon which end the lead is attached. The water knot allows you to use a lighter breaking strain for the snood.
4. Tie the hockeyes to the snoods.
