Default Making Our Own Sabiki?

maria wrote:
Well, maybe this is too much to ask, but does anyone know
whether we can get some help in making our own sabiki? Although
sabikis are usually used for catching bait fish, it is also well
known that many other types of fish have been brought in through
sabikis. I would like to experiment with sabikis carrying my own
hook sizes, "feathers" and, if possible, fish skin.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Really not much to it,, there are a few ways to do it, one with dropper
loop knots, that each fly's leader attached to,

I make mine with #6 StandOut hooks, this always catches them in the top
lip, It really nails the small fish with 6 StandOuts on your line, with
no leaders to each one. I just end up tying 6 knots, it does not tangle
nearly as bad as a true sabiki rig
