How to tie the blowback rig
Step 1:
Measure 40cm of hooklink, then strip back about 2 cm of the coating.
Then tie an overhand loop to create the hair rig.
Place your chosen bait onto the hair and secure with a bait stop.
Step 2:

Step 3:
Slide on your hook, entering the eye the side of the hook point.

Step 4:
To tie the hook, we are going to use a knotless knot.
Start by wrapping the line 7 times around the shank of the hook then thread the line back down through the eye.
Step 5:

You can now slide this over the hook eye so the knot is covered and secure.
Step 6:
