Re: Rigging with single hooks
June 29, 2008, 02:19:57 PM
yes, Warwick

that is very similar to the way I rig a lot of my lures, with the only difference being the hooks I use and that I use two split rings or assist cord for the hok off the back.
While I have no empirical evidence to support this, I very much favour going with two split rings or to tie it with assist cord on the single hook off the tail. I believe that the two split rings or assist cord gives the hook far more flexibility and is far more resistant to the fish being able to twist the hook out by continually crunching on the lure. I really feel I drop a lot less fish with this.

This isn't something I use only for GTs. I sarted using two split rings for barra a long time back and I felt it made a difference.
If it swims; I want to catch it!
