I've been tying my own for several years and still have trouble getting the hooks to line up with each other when I tighten up the second hook.

Anyone have a little secret they would like to share to get them to line up perfect every time.

I'm using Seaguar CarbonPro for line. I really like the way it stays straight and doesn't coil up.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Are you using a snell knot? If not, I'd try that. You should be able to readjust the hook pitch before you tighten the knot down.

I'm snelling both hooks...The problem comes when I tighten up the second hook, very few times it lines up with the first snelled hook. Just wondering if there is a secret to getting them to line up all the time

Thanks!!

I wouldn't worry if the hooks line up.In fact I would argue that you get better action from the crawler if they don't.

      I've never tried it either but I would given a chance myself too.  I've heard the term "ribeye of the sky" but I'm very skeptical of that.

      I will when I get home and grill them. Yea, they fold up pretty easy, not hearty birds!

      Pass shoot them between roost and fields, typically farthest shot 40 yards. They don't fly high.

      can you share some pics of the ribeye of the sky after its prepared?   I really want to try the meat some time and hunt them as well. Is the term falling lawn chair still accurate when you bring one down? lol

      Prime Time for Fall Fishing on the Rainy

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the South Shore...  Now is prime time to head up to Lake of the Woods (LOW) and the Rainy River as fall fishing is in full swing!  With plenty of limits of walleyes and saugers being caught, and a favorable weather forecast, anglers are enjoying some excellent fishing. Dress for Comfort: With cooler mornings, dressing in layers is essential. Ice fishing gear is ideal for early mornings, and you can shed layers as the day warms. A warm hat and gloves or mittens are also handy. The best bite on the south end of LOW has been in 22-28 feet of water. Water temperatures are dropping and as the temps cool further, the bite has been excellent.    Vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners remains highly effective. Bring plenty of bait, as you’ll need to sort through some smaller fish, but you’re likely to land keepers as well as larger walleyes. Anglers have also reported good numbers of jumbo perch and occasional pike mixed in with the walleyes. Good Jig Colors: This week’s hot colors have been gold, gold/glow white, gold/chartreuse, gold/orange, and gold/pink. On the Rainy River...  Shiners and walleyes continue to move into the Rainy River, making it an ideal spot for targeting large walleyes. Anglers are experiencing success up and down the river, especially in areas throughout Four Mile Bay.  Walleyes are being caught in various depths, but 15-25 feet of water has been good. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners has been highly effective. Some anglers are also trolling crankbaits to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon Fishing: With cooler days and shorter daylight hours, sturgeon activity has picked up. Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open, providing anglers with an exciting opportunity to hook into these prehistoric giants. Up at the NW Angle...  Fall fishing is firing on all cylinders up at the Angle, where walleyes continue to be concentrated around traditional areas with structure. Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now. In addition to walleyes, anglers are catching pike, jumbo perch, and crappies. Using a jig and minnow is a tried-and-true approach and continues to yield excellent results. Muskie fishing is also hot this time of year, with anglers casting and trolling to find these predators. Big muskies over 50 inches are being caught and released. For those looking to enjoy some fall fishing at its finest, now is the time to head to Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River. With cooling water temps, great weather on the horizon, and prime fishing conditions, it’s a fantastic opportunity to jig up some walleyes and saugers for a fish fry. So, bundle up, gather your gear, and come experience the unforgettable fishing that awaits you up north!
