How to tie

You'll need: about 90 cm of 60 lb mono for the bodyline, two size-12 swivels with stop-beads, two short (10–15 cm) snoods of 20–25 lb mono, two hooks (typically size 1 to 2/0 Aberdeen) and a lead clip with weight.

Building the bodyline

• Top: tie a strong swivel for connecting to the mainline.
• First dropper: about 25 cm down, slide on a stop-bead, a small swivel, then another stop-bead and crimp them in place. The swivel sits between the beads and rotates freely.
• Second dropper: repeat 25–30 cm further down. The gap between droppers should be longer than each snood, so the hooks can't tangle each other.
• Bottom: finish with a lead clip or a final swivel for the lead link.

Snoods and hooks

Tie a 10–15 cm snood of 20–25 lb mono to each dropper swivel. The snood needs to be shorter than the gap between droppers, that's how the rig stays tangle-free in flight. Crimp or tie a hook on the end of each snood. Aberdeen hooks are the standard for whiting and flatties; switch to Pennel pairs for bigger baits.
