Assembly

Steps

    Slide the bullet weight on the main line, point facing the rod.

  2. 2

    Tie the offset hook with a Palomar knot. The hook point faces up.

  3. 3

    Insert the point into the nose of the bait and bring it out about 1/4 inch down.

  4. 4

    Rotate the hook and lay the body straight. Measure, reinsert, and skin-hook the point so it lays flat.
