I was given a fishing guide in South Padre, for a charity event, that used a three-way rig made out of one piece of mono. He'd tie a loop in the center and one on each end. His main-line would have a swivel on the end. He put a loop on the end through the swivel and then pulled the three-way though the loop which secured it so that it was doubled back on the swivel. Then did the same with a kahle hook in the middle loop and again with a bank sinker on the bottom loop.

He had dozens of these tied up and when we switched spots he would slip the hooks and the weights off real fast and when we got to the new spot he would slip them back on. He told us that it worked great in grass and sand but in places where the weight could get stuck he would swap to an actual three-way swivel and use a lighter line from swivel to weight than swivel to hook. This way the weight could break off if it got stuck.

Like this but longer. He'd make the distance from the weight to the hook loop long enough to get above the grass.

what would be any disadvatage to using a peg float on the 3 way rig? i pre-made some that way and dont want to have to break them down!!, but if theres a disadvantage i will have to!?

Just take the peg out so it will slide to the top when in the water

Mark, did you put the bobber on weight leader or the hook leader? I put peg bobbers (pegged 2-3 inches from hook) on my hook leader on a 3 way. If on the weight leader u want it to slide up and down.......

Weight leader

i pegged them on the hook leader 2-3" from the hook

thats how i does it but then again I AM DCM.........

seriously it can't hurt nuttin...i think it's better than no bobber....cuz on a regular 3 way ur bait could still be laying in mud without a bobber......

DCM the expert who cant catch a fish!!!

???????? not sure what thats about?..............

there's several ways u can rig up a 3way rig....it's veratile....no bobber, pegged bobber on hook leader, sliding bobber on weight leader, longer hook leader , longer weight leader, sacrifice 3 way - using lighter test mono on weight leader than the hook leader, ...........

for new guys

Why not make a new one with less pages.

that'd be work

bump for new guys

Thx DCM. I was looking for this page the other day.
