jika rig

[gonefishin3]

I tested the jika rig with much sucess.. Found a few problems. The craws i use are smaller craws so i need a 1 ot hook. gamagatsu dosent make them so i threaded a split ring onto the hook all the way until it got stuck there was then barely enough room (if you were patient) to tie a palomar knot.. i put the palomar knot under the split ring and put the line through the split ring this way the knot was protected by the split ring i thought about tieing the line to the split ring but i thought that i might not have as much control over the hook set. Do you all think it would make a difference? (sorry about bringing this old topic back... Thanks !
