| I just made this rig out of 12lb mono using a drop loop knot, a sleeve and these glass beads I had laying around. They are a mix of black and yellow.... using 4 oz. "safety yellow" pyramid sinker Also I'm trying two, three different kinds of circle hooks... . I have khale hooks and other kinds of small hooks here and there there that I can switch around if I have to. Will post a report in the AM. Hope it works

| My only concern would be the sleeve(visibility). Other than that it seems like it'll work. -Jason

Yup, omit the sleeves. I always paint my Pomp weights white.
 Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.

| I am still pretty new at this and use regular J hooks. Should I be using the circle hooks?

| Hell, paint the sleeves orange like flea eggs. See what happens. If people can catch them on those Marathon rigs, anything is possible.

| Great idea for painting the weights white, does it make a very big difference in the catch rate. I guess I mean if the beach had others on it in your area, do they have worse luck and wonder what you are doing differently because they aren't catching any?

White weights may make no difference at all. Where you're fishing makes the biggest difference in my experience. I try to make my pomp rigs as light & unnoticeable as possible, while retaining enough strength to hold up to a big fish. I use floro, fish sharp circles & try to have good baits on hand. A lot of little things can make a big difference at the end of the day.

| pretty sure the lead weight is under the sand anyway - color shouldn't matter at all.

What about tying hooks directly on green braid; taking into consideration visibility and pompano fickleness?

| I have caught pomps with jigs tied straight to braid...if they are hungry, they'll usually eat it. With a rig, I use 20 lb flouro w/ a small Kroc swivel. If that doesnt work, I go to 12lb and decrease my weight..
