First, you rig the dart to your hook with waxed thread or dental floss.  Place the dart into the Bridle-Buddy Tool and carefully insert the dart through the top of the fish’s nose and into its mouth. Quickly remove the tool leaving the dart inside the baits mouth which will pivot 90-degrees and lock into place on the roof of the bait’s mouth.  With a little practice you can quickly take the bait out of your baitwell, rig the bait securely to your line and drop it back into your spread, saving the fish from extensive handling and piercings that occur when using more traditional bridling techniques.
