Fishing is not just a relaxing hobby but also an art that combines skill and the right gear. To help anglers navigate complex underwater environments while protecting their Smart Bait, KANAMA introduces the innovative Twin Leader Rig setup. In this blog, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to set up the Twin Leader Rig properly for an optimized fishing experience.
What is the Twin Leader Rig?
The Twin Leader Rig is a specialized fishing setup that uses two leader lines:
- A longer leader line connected to the Smart Bait was designed to attract fish.
- A shorter leader line (approximately 5-10 cm shorter than the Smart Bait’s leader) is connected to the hook, which bears most of the tension.
The key to this design is that the hook’s leader line absorbs the pressure. If a snag occurs or a large fish pulls and snaps the line, it’s always the hook’s line that breaks, while the Smart Bait remains safe and retrievable.
How to Set Up the Twin Leader Rig?
Prepare Your Tools and Materials：
1. A KANAMA Smart Bait (Smart Bait Pro or Smart Bait Mini).
2. Two leader lines of differing lengths: one longer and one shorter. Use durable, abrasion-resistant materials.
3. A main line (to connect the rig to your rod), preferably a strong nylon or braided line.
4. High-quality swivels and snaps to secure the components.
5. A hook and other necessary tackle.
Follow these detailed steps to create the perfect Twin Leader Rig:
1. Attach the Main Line to the Swivel
2. Tie one end of the main line securely to the top loop of the swivel, ensuring the knot is tight and stable.
3. Add Two Leader Lines
4. Attach the longer leader line (recommended length: 40-50 cm) to one loop of the swivel. Connect the other end to the KANAMA Smart Bait.
5. Attach the shorter leader line (5-10 cm shorter than the longer line) to another loop of the swivel. Connect the other end to the hook.
Important: The difference in length between the two leader lines is crucial to ensure the hook’s line bears the tension first.
Test the Rig
Conduct a trial run in shallow water to confirm the rig’s stability and sensitivity. When you pull on the main line, the hook’s leader line should absorb the pressure and break first in case of excessive tension.
Advantages of the Twin Leader Rig
1. Protects the Smart Bait: Since the hook’s line is shorter, it absorbs the pressure during snags or when a large fish pulls. This design ensures the line connected to the Smart Bait remains intact.
2. Reduces Loss Risks: Even if the hook’s leader line snaps, the Smart Bait can be safely retrieved. Additionally, KANAMA offers a Lost Insurance Guarantee: if your Smart Bait is lost, simply provide a video, and we’ll send you a new one for free!
3. Perfect for Complex Environments: Ideal for fishing in snag-prone areas like rocky rivers or lakes with underwater obstacles, minimizing unnecessary tackle losses.
Tips for Using the Twin Leader Rig
1. Inspect the Leader Lines Regularly: Check for any wear or damage on both leader lines, especially the hook’s line, before each use.
2 . Choose the Right Fishing Spot: The Twin Leader Rig excels in areas with high snag risks, such as zones with underwater vegetation or rocky terrain.
3. Document Any Losses: In the event of a Smart Bait loss, record a video and contact KANAMA’s customer service. We’ll promptly replace your bait at no additional cost.
