got TJ out of the Hot Tuna and today I’m
going to show you how we like to rigger
harpoons of North on two so what we have
here is an eight-foot scourge of C
harpoon
lilies are on the end here and what I
like to do is take a line now you got
here and
I put a rubber band some guys like to
tape it put tape but I prefer the
rubberband and what we do is we just put
the rubber band like that and then we’ll
take our electrical tape
and tape over in rubberband and what
that does is put tension on the dart
here on the end just enough tension to
kind of hold it in place so it doesn’t
come off as you know we throw when we
miss like captain ballbuster seems to do
quite a bit but I also like the
rubberband because once the guard does
physically go in the fish it’s just that
little bit of tension that has to break
and then everything kind of comes free
we like to take the rope and kind of lap
it over each other
right here
we’ll secure it
a little bit of tape and then right here
we have a little kind of shackle
for the woodbend we will loop there
with that shackle down and this just
basically saves us from losing this pole
this here is the lily dart that will go
into the fish and actually once tensions
put on it will kind of twist inside the
fish what’s going to happen as you’ll
see a collar i reenact what happens when
it goes to the fish so it comes off as
you can see and as the fish runs that
rubber band right there will break and
if I can if you look here as the fish
also continue to run this line will kind
of slide out and through and then we’ll
have about 15 feet of clearance between
the end shackle there and the dart so
when this comes up we can you know undo
this get it out of the way and then use
this line to kind of pull the fish up
closer to us and get a gaff with them so
you get a tail rope off the dart is in
the fish and this line is secured to
that dart and we have all this extra
line here because a lot of times when
you harpoon these fish they don’t just
give up sometimes they’ll take another 3
400 feet of line out off the reel as
well as all our boom basket then we’ve
got this poly ball cut at the end of it
god forbid he does take it all you know
the ball will kind of suspend and if we
broke them off the rod when I won’t
still have to probably will have a
visual on hopefully as I take it down
I’m captain TJ yaw and that’s how we
like to rig the harpoons aboard the hot
tuna
