Buttholebill Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 You mean a stinger. Most of the time you dont need one. Ive put a stinger from the jig hook back to the tail but that was because i was getting tail bite. Dont think you need one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttholebill Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ya it should be. There probaby little fish tho. When you get one it will be a head shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willduhhbeast Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I rig a lot of my hudds the STE way and I cant tell you guys how many times the farthest rear stinger on the bottom was the one that held the fish on. I'm talking 5-9lb fish too. I have also never had a fish gill or gut hooked, although thats all I keep reading about on here with hudds and stingers, though it is certainly plausible.

Fishingallday31 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I don't run two hooks, mainly because I don't place the hook near the head. Place the hook directly behind the dorsal fin, and you will get head bites and most tail baits. One exception is when I run a tail hook when burning the bait quickly.

Buttholebill Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I do bb rig on all mine at the begining but towards the back after a while because it rips it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There not going to eat it. There going to nip at it. There not looking to eat but i guess if you really need to bed fish will a big bait you could put the stinger on. Or just use a u2 bluegill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassindon69 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have no problem hooking fish with a ROF 12 burning with just a jig hook. One hook is enough place it where ya like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facepunch Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 +1, the only hudd fish I've missed in the recent past was due to it completely folding the bait and getting the tail hooked instead of the fish. Fought her for a few seconds and she jumped and the bait flew out like a baseball lol. I bb rig it with a quad hook and keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
