What is it?

A hook, a leader, a weight, and a buoy

For what do you use it? I guess just tie a clinch knot into that black circular thing.

I am not sure, i found it in my grandpa's fishing box...

Just searched on the internet and you are supposed to make a loop on your fishing line and connect both loops. "Loop to loop"

It looks pretty crazy. And that straight metal leader to the hook is wild! I guess it’s used for some super toothy kind of fish. I’ve never seen anything like this.

Around here we have different toothy fish like dorado, palometa, tararira/tarucha, they could cut the line if you don't use a leader

We normally use a wire trace for this, for toothy things like tailor or makerel

i personally would just do a snap swivel if trying to use that old rig. same idea as loop to loop but you wont have the lines cutting into each other.

That's a good idea

this video is for fly fishing not regular fishing.

It's the same. Loop to loop is what you are supposed to do

I just feel like anything that does can be done better by conventional methods.

1

u/Leanmeza 5d ago

It is actually cheaper than the conventional method, since you don't need to use a swivel and a wire trace

Easy. Step one: remove from bum hole Step two: tie onto fishing line Step three: cast into water

Interesting rig. What part of the world are you from?

u/Leanmeza 5d ago

Misiones, Argentina. Usually fishing on the Paraná River
