Rock cod ganions

FISHY · Aug-08-2005, 12:33 PM

Maybe someone can help me. I ve been building my own rock cod rigs and cant seem to get it right. How long should the ganions be? They twist and I have a swivel? Ive been making 4 and 5 hook setups but I see guys fishing more with less tangle than I have? Please help!

Go up to Morro Bay and catch a fish on every drop - in less than 100ft of water. Who the hell needs a ganion?

A friend of mine I fish with in SQ makes 4 and 5 hook ganions and kills the bottom fish. I was just curious how to build them correctly. I have built a few but they dont seem to work as well as Ive seen others

When I pull 2 dropper loops together I don't like them to be able to lock up on each other. I like about 5" of space between the loops when pulled at each other. I now secure the hooks onto the loop with a Palomar. Keeps the hook on the loop without any slack that can get caught onto the eye of the hooking causing break off. Misuse taught me something.

That's about it. 4 spread apart. I like about a 10' top shot the rest spectra. I do not use straight spectra because spectra has poor abrasion resistance and does not hold up well rubbing on rocks.

I use big mustad hooks.
