How to rig your poppers with hooks

<< < (6/10) > >>

Jay Burgess:
No more so than a couple of big trebles??

--- Quote from: Brandon Khoo on June 23, 2009, 12:34:35 PM ---to be honest, I found the singles very effective on the hook-up and no less so than trebles. I wonder whether this may be the way in which the barras suck the lures in.

You may find it worthwhile trying a small baker rig on the hardbodies you are using for jewies or perhaps even attached singles wiith an assist. From my experience, the single hooks attached by an assist are a lot harder to throw than trebles

--- End quote ---

I use exclusively singles on minnows for nile perch which are similar in the way they feed to Barras and Jewies. My hook up and retention rate has gone up a lot. Used to get loads of hooks thrown on the strike and on jumps but not now.

Was a very good swap. Use Tiemco 600SP in 6/0, damn those things are sharp.

Greg Burt:
We used the setup a few times at Bugatti but found it to heavy and sunk or the extra hook killed the action on most lures including the Edipop, the  Baker rig was taken off and it worked fine and actually enhanced the action on the Ulua by the drag on the Assist hook getting the nose down.

Brandon Khoo:
I can only suggest that you experiment and find what works for you.I personally do not like the assist on the front of a stickbait at all as I don't like what it does to the action.

Marc Vandaele:
thanks again for this great information Brandon
but i am wondering what kind of assistcord you using  for poppers and do you keep this also to 1/3 op popperlength like  jigging?
