How to make a Snowman Rig

Follow these simple steps to tie the perfect Snowman Rig...

1. Take a length of braided hooklink and form a loop for the hair stop. Attach a 12mm pop-up and 15mm bottom bait to the rig and secure in place with a Hair stop.

2. Attach a large rig ring with a double overhand knot below the bait so it can blow back once the rig is complete. Slide the ring on to a size 6 hook and tie the Knotless Knot so the ring is positioned on the bend of the hook as shown.

3. Take a length of monofilament hooklink and join the two materials using an Albright knot.

4. Cut a section of shrink tube around one inch in length and position over the eye of the hook. Steam the tubing so that it has a long slow progressive curve.

5. Mould a small amount of putty over the Albright knot. Slide an anti-tangle sleeve on to the hooklink before tying a figure of eight loop knot to finish the rig.

6. The finished rig!
