Garrett Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I snagged one of my hudds the other day and ended up bending out the jig hook. What do you guys do in this situation? Can I trust the jig hook if I bend it back or should I cut it off and bb rig It? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishEastCarolina Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 How old is the bait? A video I saw on tactical bass in said there was a bad run of wire years back and Huddleston had some of the bad hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lux036 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I usually bend them back and resharpen them. Usually you'll be fine. Those wires are super strong, even if it's slightly weakened it should still work. But you could always BB rig too. Garrett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmurr7 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Bend it back and keep at it. If it bends out again or you lose fish, clip the jig hook and BB rig it. Garrett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Ramen Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Bend it back and sharpen it. If it bends out again, ditch it and go with a BB rig.If you are really worried about it, just go to a BB rig. Problem solved.

SPEEDBEAD Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Got a pic of how badly it's bent out? I usually bend the jig hook out from stock some anyway. You may not have to move it that far actually. Jace D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
