tackle tie details for flashers

[tubber]

I only use bead chains for bait, especially since I got a lifetime supply of barrel swivels for cheap at the Bass Pro store in Vegas this spring. If you win enough at the tables right at the entrance to the store, everything is even cheaper.

Does nobody else like bead chain swivels?
I use them on virtually all my leaders.

I do like a good bead chain swivel on my chov setups..
The hootchies are are a 50lb (or 40) perlon with a loop tied at the end...

At the hootchie I rig them with a swivel at the top end that attaches to the flasher and one jambed into the hootchie head.
That one then attaches to a single 6/0 hook that just comes to the end of the squirt.

Hey dan....that swivel jammed into the hoochie head (assuming on the inside); is that basically just to act as a spacer so the hook isn't sitting to "high"/"forward" in the squirt?

I am just trying to picture what you are describing.

That piece of hooked stainless that sticks out mid clip can get snagged on rigger cable and/or your landing net when netting a fish. I give Jim (Sushihunter) credit for telling me this a long time ago. I use # 5 quick release snaps after I have removed the duolock. Duolocks are often included with consumer flashers as well as cheaper barrel swivels. I prefer commercial grade flashers( Nikka) with ball bearing swivel front and rear ...then attach the quick release to the swvel ring. See #5 release clip in the photo below:
