£6 Hooklink Will Make 250 Rigs 😲

A D rig made with zig hooklink which is cheaper than fluoro and just as good!

I’m a huge fan of mono hooklinks because they’re not expensive and strong. You can of course use your mainline as hooklink but it comes on big 1000m spools so they’re bulky to carry around in a tackle box. So I wanted to find a thin, strong material that I could buy on a 100m spool which makes it much better value than a 20m spool of fluoro. I found a material I really like and I’ve had lots of success with this rig in the last 12 months.
