Description

Eye Catcher "Bulletproof" Ballyhoo Rig The Eye Catcher Bulletproof Ballyhoo Rig has been featured in magazine articles because of its uniquely effective design. This Eye Catcher rig is quick, easy and features a ballyhoo rigger, a pin weight and a special loop of #12 wire within the hook's eye for extra protection against bite-offs. The pin weight keels the ballyhoo so that it swims in a naturally upright position and the bally rigger makes changing ballyhoo a breeze. Each rig on this page is made with 15’ of Jinkai Leader, 7691DT Mustad Cadmium 4X strong hooks, and Curl-eez Leader Wrap. Note: Unless you ask me to use one of my lures with these rigs, the loop end is left open and you can add the lure of your choice to the rig. A loop protector and crimps are also provided in the bag.

Field Notes

Use this rig for rigging ballyhoo as a trolling bait in offshore saltwater fishing. The pin weight helps keep the bait swimming upright, while the wire loop and leader setup are designed to reduce bite-offs and make bait changes faster. It is meant to be paired with a lure or bait presentation and trolled behind the boat.
