Just by coincidence the same day Capt Al Lorenzetti informed me about us receiving the QuickRig tool to try out. I also received a call from a client of mine, Andy Alper asking me to come down to West Palm Beach and chase down some Sailfish on his new 54 Viking “ He’ Lade”. No more stars needed to align, I packed my bag and headed south. Conditions were great for a boat ride 82 degrees with a slight south breeze and 76 degree water temps, but I knew this was not sailfish weather. After acquiring some local knowledge and some live goggleyes we were off to test out our new tools.
I first heard of the QuickRig tool last summer when I was fishing the offshore tournament trail. While at the White Marlin Open I was told that in all future billfish tournaments J hooks would be banned and we would have to rig all our dead baits with circle hooks. Not something I was looking forward to and I immediately started the search for a simple solution to the tedious bridling process. The QuickRig seemed to be the answer. But would it work for live baiting?
