9 Tips for Quicker Rig Changes

Fishing Tips

Deneki Outdoors

Are you finding that you spend too much time rigging and not enough actually fishing? Deneki Outdoors has 9 tips for quicker ways to switch between different rigs, flies, and tactics. 

  1. Pre-Rig. One of the best ways to make efficient rig changes is by rigging up a bunch of spare rigs ahead of time, especially if the rigs require more than one step.
  2. Loop to Loop Connections. A loop to loop connection at about 18 inches above the fly can make for easy rig swaps. 
  3. Hang Your Shot Above a Knot. Every time you have to slide a shot back into position, crimp on tighter, or replace because it came loose, is more time spent not fishing. So, always hang your shot above a knot. The shot remains on the leader after a breakoff, won’t slide down the leader, or need to be tightened.
  4. Adjustable Indicators. 
  5. The Double Surgeon’s Knot. The double surgeon’s knot is nearly as strong and far simpler to tie than the blood knot. It's a great option in low light with tough visibility. Here’s how to tie it.
  6. Quick Change Sink Tips.
  7. Tie Your Flies With Depth in Mind.
  8. Tippet Rings and Micro Swivels.
  9. Practice Your Knots. Knot tying is a skill.
