Rexlace 2

For mackerel fishing from a pier, I used Rexbait rigs many times. One of the good things for Rexlace-based sabiki is color variation you can choose. My first model was silver holo and it worked very well. When I lost chartreuse color of a jigging spoon which caught some mack, I wanted to make green colored ones. I bought green holo, clear green and silver Rexlace and tried a few combinations. I also found some glow color strips. I thought they might work better in the evening. I bought glow white and used in combination with silver.

Tools
Paper binder clips, scissors, a craft knife, a pin, a ruler

Materials
Rexlace, scotch tape, hooks (Octopus #4 or similar), mono lines, glue (silicon based, no-solvent type) , non‐woven fabric (used for a connecting strip of upper and lower Rexlace ), nylon hair, feather 

Design finished shape

Cut strip into 2’’.

Fold at the center, clip and fix using scotch tape.

Cut out upper and lower parts with a craft knife.

Remove scotch tape and open strips.

Make a pin hole in upper part.

Put leader tied with hook through the hole.

Apply glue to the inner side of strips and let them dry for 5 minutes.

Attach glued surface with a connecting strip.

Fix with scotch tape and clip overnight.

Attach nylon hair (or feather) tail and fix with scotch tape overnight.

Make a complete rig.

At first, I led the mono line from the lower corner of the tail end. Sometimes it caused trouble in leader when I caught mack. Therefore I changed the design and led the line from the tail end as in the photo above.
