Its actually very simple. I just use some old power pro and tie about a 5" loop using an overhand not with the double line and burn the tag end down to the knot. the braid flairs when burned and the knot wont slip. simply loop the power pro on the base of the hook and wrap a few half hitches, passing the eye of the hook, I use 10/0 gami octopus or circle hook, through the loop of the half hitch and the bridle is set. take a rigging needle and thread the bridle loop through wherever you would like to hook the bunker, I usually go top of back behind dorsal or through nostrils. run the hook point through the loop that was pulled through the fish. I then twist the hook and the bridle until you can just barely pass the hook back through the loop created where the bridle passes through the fish and you're all set. ideally the hook should sit fairly close to the fish.

After watching so many offshore shows where this is used for tuna and marlin, and I had missed a few fish because of a turned hook, I looked for a new technique. So far has worked 100%. when that 50+ eats my bunker, I want to KNOW my hook will hit its mark.
