How to rig your poppers with hooks
Wong Kai Zhee:
the knot u use to tie the assist looks interesting.
can u show step by step how its done?
Robert Palcak:
Hi Brandon
Another great write up... cheers for that!
I'm just wondering... when rigging an assist off the head, should the hook point be closest to the lure body(as pictured) or pointed out?
Cheers Rob
Brandon Khoo:
Luke - I don't think it really matters that much whether you use 330lb or 400lb. I'd probably go with the 400lb myself.
Rob, I only put it that way for illustrative purposes. I think what is important is that the cord is long enough for it to be clear of the cup
Travis Heaps:
Great article Brandon.
I think it's important to test and be selective of the poppers you use the front rigged assist on. From my (very limited) experience with the rig - i've tried it on one lure - it may affect the action. The lure I tried it on suffered from the front hook, it dragged the cup down and made it difficult to pop.
(PS you need to stop it with all these great articles - otherwise everyone will come here, read and never have to ask any questions :P ;) ;))

Thanks for that Brandon. I'm keen to try the Baker rig out.
