Back to back hooks

Hi guys just wondering how you would go about tying long shank size 8 hooks back to back. Seen it being used on a fishing show and wanted to know how it was done. The guy was catching herring.

 

Cheers Darren

is it on lures? or is it on green tube??

if lure just straight on to the split ring.

if with tube just thread one up and tie the next one on, then push the tube down and it locks them back to back.

yer so the top hook is just running free and then tie the other one on and push down and that holds it.

also i learnt it from fishingWA is to half hitch the top of the tube and have a fair bit of hook exposure. better hook up and less lost fish.
