#1 Ghost Circle Fluoro RIG

Hand-tied · #1 circle hook · Fluorocarbon leader

A complete rig, tied and ready. The fluorocarbon is the reason it is called a Ghost rig — it refracts light close to the way water does, so it is far harder for a fish to see than mono. In the clear water on the Gulf reefs and along the Atlantic edge, that is very often the whole difference between getting looked at and getting bit.

The #1 circle hook handles inshore work and light bottom fishing, and releases fish cleanly through the jaw instead of the gut.

Keep a few in the bag. Bite windows around a tide change are short, and re-tying a leader with cold hands in the dark is how people miss the morning.
