I like using the bead, it helps protect the knot and keeps the sinker from gettin stuck on the knot.... Great vid, thanks for sharing!!

Nice knocker Rig . Thanks for sharing.

Awesome rig thanks again TY

Bank rigs work good when using live bait or dead.live bait can move around better using a 3way swivel main line connects to the first eye 2nd line is crimmped to the bank weight. leader is connected to the last eye with a hook instead of the bait being vertical its horizontal so the bait can move easier.now this is just what im imaging in my head..i do use a carolina rig with a circle hook so i can set one rod down in the holder while i work the other.

I also like to add a split weight just above the knot. Just clamp it to the main line and it protects the knot and it makes more sound with the metal on metal sound.

Good info. Thanks. Probably good for big fresh water cats as well. Maybe?

Some "know it all" thought I couldn't catch fish with this rig.. I had to educate him

I feel that the plastic bead between the lead and the knot helps prevent the lead front wearing into the knot. It just seems logical, I really can't say as I don't do much bottom fishing but I've seen some pretty ragged edges on egg sinkers "eyes". Gonna have to do some experimenting with this concept.

Haha ya we tried going light a few weeks ago but kept getting broke off kept uping our leader till we put on 200 lb test and found out it was greater amberjacks that we kept hooking an some of them exceeded 30± lb

u can try using tenya,its the same upgraded version from tis set up.tenya fishing for snappers,giant garoupas and barramundi are popular here in my country

Wonder if anyone does this for sheepshead. Seems more sensitive than a carolina rig.

Do you use a swivel to attach the rig to the main line or you tie an Albright knot?

You need that for them 5 foot catfish at the bottom of the Mississippi

You didn’t mention how you tie the leader to the braid. Do you use a swivel there, or do you tie it Universal to Universal knot?

I get alot of weird looks when I fish, and I pretty much only use a knocker rig(sometimes on outgoing tides I will use a popping cork), but then they all look surprised when I out fish them. I am thinking maybe to put those beads on my knocker rigs also, would that help attract them any more, with the sound, or are they solely to keep the egg weight off the knot?

Can you just go ahead and go with the 40 to 50 pound leader even if the fish are small? Just to be safe ?

What size circle hook do you recommend?

Can you do this method without Leader just on main line

how do you conect your rig to your main line ?? using a swivel ??

Everyone has a How to rig , but how to actually fish the rig…..? Drop it 😂down, hits bottom, immediately close the bail/set the convention reel? Free line the line out? Leave bail open? Bounce on bottom , don’t bounce on bottom ? When anchored or drifting techniques? No one really goes into how to fish it. Cheers.

The downside of knocker rig is when you catch a fish and set the hook. Once you set the hook, the sinker swings back and hits the hook. The impact will push the hook back out of the fish mouth. Prefer Carolina rig.

Is this a good rig to fish bridges?

Only $24.86 for 5 pounds of 3 oz sinkers!

Anybody ever tell you I look like Michael imperoli

That big weight will also knock the hook out the fish mouth
