i think you mean to keep the baits together?. when you have done your overhand loop as you would to attach a bait make it bigger so it sits inside the first bait you put on and don't cut the tag end right down leave 5mm and this will make sure your bait cant slide up the hair. although I think the rig could be made more effective by leaving a gap between the baits.

Like said keep it simple.

Ive used 22mm double bottom baits with knotless knot rig, with a curve shank and line aligner but not a long one (I personally always cut off the tail bit if its a bought one). I used to balance the baits slightly by drilling out and putting a piece of cork between them to hold them together.

You can use a stiff bristle filament, put it through both and melt down on either side - that was how I was shown it

Without using them, how do you think they are better with than without a line aligner? Surely the proof is in the using?

Personally I'd just have a long hair coming from the ring/swivel on the Amnesia D, would give you plenty of separation & movement.

thanks for your input lads. ip I have used double 24mm bottom baits on a line aligner type rig for a little while last season up until winter where I switched over to pop ups. I caught well and never lost a fish so I will probably continue to use that rig. its my opinion that if I can make the hook bigger with a line aligner (quite a long one) it can only help hookholds and aid anti ejection just what I am confident in i am too concerned about the amnesia looping up with 2 heavy baits on and i dont really want to go down the route of wafters as that will take my edge away as i see it thanks anyway lads

Putting a blob of putty heavier than the two baits and hook combined 1/3 way down the rig from the swivel should help stop the amnesia looping up.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
