Tying a sliding mooching rig

[eyeFISH]

I moved this over from a reply posted by Magnum

I tried to take pictures of the process I do to tie on a slip hook on my mooching rigs. I prefer to use 30 lb. Fly backing line in chartreuse for tying on my top sliding hook, but that's just my personal preference. A little color doesn't hurt. Hopefully the pics show enough info on tying a top hook. I'm not very good with writing instructions, but if you come in contact with me, I'll gladly show anyone my way of tying the top hook. :grin: Good Luck Springer fishin' to all & to all, many hook-ups! :smash:

The pic's are great, you made it simple. A few years ago while springer fishing the Rouge with a guide he used this exact set-up except ties the slider on with green-waxed-dental floss. :shrug: Seemed to work fine.

Thanks for the tip! :cheers:

Has anybody tried the Owner Boa mooching rigs. They slide but will not slide if there is pressure on the hook. They use spectra braid but it is tied in a different knot. I would like to see if anybody knows how to tie this rig. :bowdown:
