Tpreston Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Any suggestions on how to go about rigging a rof 0 with no belly hanger? Anyone had any experience with tryin to run a stinger set up on the belly? Tryin to think of the best way to do it for fishing the bait barely subsurface. Thanks y’all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMarino Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 I usually fish the top hooks or bb-rig them, you could try placing some nail weights and it would be possible to drill through the foam, place a coffee straw and run the line underneath for a belly line through hook Toro blanco, Tpreston, Davidgetsem and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpreston Posted May 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Yeah man I was actually thinkin about converting to a line thru I have a few to play with so it might be a good option. Thanks for the diagram! It’ll help me to figure out where to drill through for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loudsplashbassn_ Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Also the new hollow body's make a nice line through if you mod em Tpreston, Chuch10 and Jon P 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right about the bb rig though might be the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanhick Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Unless smallie fishing bb rig it. just make sure the hook is light enough so the bait doesn't roll. Tpreston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon P Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 I wish they had the 10" in an ROF0 with a hook hanger right underneath the line tie, that'd be the spice of life. The ROF0 8" used to be one of my go-to baits but now all they're good for is making a slightly slower than ROF5 BB rig. There's a dude on IG called KDS Baits that has a 10.5" floater rigged up just perfect that I'm going to try out come next paycheck. Also talked Joe Rainville's ear off conceptualizing a similar rigging on his 10" trout but that might not be happening, Joe's a busy dude.

Makes it easier than having to chop Hudds apart. Thanks. bigpoppabass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, definitely gotta wait on a paycheck before I buy more baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpreston Posted May 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 I ordered a kds weedless gill a few days ago I’m excited for and saw the trouts they are pretty awesome. I think that I will just bb rig it after seeing y’all’s recommendations. Thanks for everyone’s replies Jon P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tagged along in my boat a couple of weeks ago we were throwing his new little perch bait, smallies killed it as well as lake trout. He is really busy, I actually had to bring him back to the dock at noon that day. Rogervang and Jon P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also really gotta get my hands on that little perch, hadn't seen that one before! Joe's bait's are absolutely indispensable for my area, just about every other body of water is filled with pike and Joe's baits are pike-proof.
