Fishing Question. How do I tie hooks directly to line?

Question

I went fishing last week at our local pier. I noticed the guy next to us had 5 hooks on his line. All 5 hooks were tied directly to his line with a weight at the bottom. What's the name of that setup or how can I set my line like that. (I didn't get a chance to ask him).
They were not the sabiki setup.
thanks in advance

Answer 1

I use a fishing knot that comes from a paper out of a box of new line. Here is a site that shows how to tie many knots

Answer 2

Don't know what set-up the gentlemen had, but ya' can use what is called a "Dropper Loop". Link below will show ya' how to tie and it be animated to make it easier. Site has a lot of other type knots for fishin' along with a slew of others that may come in handy for other needs. Not sure if this'll help, but you'll be gettin' other Answers ppl responses that'll steer you in the direction ;)...

Answer 3

I used a hook system. EAch hook coms on it's own lanyard, so each of them has a loop at the end. Place all the loops into the hook of the line and add the weight to it.

A quick google search tells me that this is called using a FISHING LEADER system.

i like attaching a swivel to my main line so i can quicly and easily change set ups. so i tried my snelled hook with a worm but cant get a nibble i take my snell off and attach my spoon or spinner and im ready to go. it saves me time by not tying a new not everytime

Answer 5

Start tying way up the line, move down a bit, tie another, repeat. Hope that helps.

Answer 6

You can do a line to line or a swivel

Answer 7

you could try snelling the hooks on at different spots on your line like a huge crawler harness. GOOD LUCK and KEEP FISHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure but you could prolly use some duct tape to get them to stay
