How to Tie Your Own Gang Hooks

Gang hooks are used to present a variety of baits and lures to both fresh and saltwater game fish species. One of the more common methods of rigging a gang hook is when using live or artificial worms. The presentation of live worms benefits from the use of a live rig, as the worm appears more naturally in the water instead of in a ball on a hook. Gang hooks can be tied using various knots, however, one method in particular allows for relatively quick and easy rigging.

Instructions

    1 Cut a 12- to 15-inch length of line from the end of your fishing line to be used for tying the rig. Tie a knotless knot to attach the line to fish hooks.
    2 Feed the free end of the short length of line through the eye of a hook. The line should exit the eye on the back or opposite side from the bend. Pull the line down so the end is even with the bottom of the bend of the hook.
    3 Hold the line against the shank of the hook. Pull the main length of line down and wrap it around the shank and short length of line eight to 10 times. Hold the wraps in place and feed the end of the longer length back through the eye so it exits on the barb side of the hook. Pull the knot down tightly and trim excess line from the short end with scissors.
    4 Decide how far up the line the next hook should be. This will depend on the type of bait being used as well as personal preference. Feed the free end of the short length of line through the eye of the hook so it exits on the barb side. Slide the hook down to the desired location.
    5 Hold the line in place against the shank of the hook and pull the long length of line down. Make eight to 10 turns around the shank and line being held in place. Feed the free end through the eye of the hook so it exits on the barb side. Pull the knot down tightly.
    6 Tie a loop at the end of the line for attaching to the main line. Tie a surgeon's loop by doubling the line and forming an overhand knot. This will form a small loop at the end of the line. Feed the loop through the knot once again and pull down tight. Trim excess line from the free end.
