4 Steps To Prepare Hook Baits
Last week we saw Scott Walker change his Swordfish rod over to a rig to pull a 60 pound dredge for Marlin fishing and he taught us how to properly make a crimp. Today, we see him rig his hook baits in a 4 step process.
Of all the Captains I have ever fished with, Capt. Scott Walker has always impressed me with the way he prepares his tackle. It is meticulously rigged with great concentration to details and it all looks exactly the same. Scott has found what works for him and he does not deviate from the winning formula. The result is success in tournaments and success for his anglers.
Scott goes through the way he rigs his hook baits for Blue Marlin step by step in an easy to follow instructional video. Notice how he doesnt fully rig 1 bait at a time, rather, he gets everything ready, measured and perfect and then starts to rig the baits.

How To Make A Perfect Crimp To Pull A Heavy Dredge
As the seasons change, our gear must also change. Scott Walker is taking his Swordfish rod and converting it to a rig for pulling a dredge for Blue Marlin. The dredge that he will pull is very heavy and resistant. The tackle has to be strong to simply pull it all day but also has to be strong enough to withstand (hopefully) many attacks on the dredge through the day.
One of the changes that has to occur is to cut the terminal end off the Swordfish tackle and crimp a swivel onto the end of the line with a thimble and protector.
Scott goes step by step through the process of making this crimp and shows you precisely how to crimp for maximum strength and durability. Of course, there are tons of other uses for a crimp beyond pulling a dredge and Scott's instructions apply anywhere you may need a super strong crimp.
