Favourite Jigging Leader- Fisherman Shock Leader

Fisherman's Shock leader is the best shock leader I've tried so far. I used to believe in using only Fluorocarbon (FC) material leader but I found that heavier poundage FC leaders are too stiff for my liking. Fisherman's Shock leader is made from nylon which makes it easier to tie knots. It is very soft and supple and it also allows for some stretch so it helps to absorb the shock considering jigging mainlines have zero stretch. Lastly, it is surprisingly abrasion resistant considering it is so soft.

Assist Hooks- Jigging

I reckon this is the easiest way to tie your own assist hook. I found this to be the simplest way and has yet to fail me so far.

First, estimate the length of assist cord needed and cut of slightly more than the estimated needed length.
Next, tie an overhead knot but do not over tighten.
Slip the hook into the overhand loop.
Tighten the knot and pull the assist cord through the eye of the hook.
Pull the knot tight against the hook eye and its done!
Some anglers add a drop or 2 of super glue to the knot for added security.
