brooks19604 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Instead of wrapping a ton of string around your bait... Go get a box of paper clips and make yourself a good amount of these. Make them longer if you want but they work for me just fine +1 I do the exact same thing. I put a magnet in the top of my hudd to hold the hook in place and one of the pins to hold it down I saw mike long do it in a YouTube video.

I never really got super crazy looking for magnets but I know it would work if I had strong enough ones that were kind of small. I just bought some random ones I had seen along the way and none of them ever worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks19604 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I believe I used a rare earth magnet it's pretty strong. 99% of the time I don't need the pin to hold the hook in place the magnet alone will hold it. The trick is to have the magnet partially exposed I'll post a pic up later of what mine looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossypumpkin Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 BB rig works ok, too... I thought this bait didn't have enough plastic for the BB rig to work? Also thinking the BB rig will wear a hole in the bait after the treble is popped out enough times. Yes, you can BB rig it. Use a #2 or #4.

Treep Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 hopefully the bait doesn't get sliced into pieces on the hookset. There might be some better alternatives like some of the ones already mentioned. I haven't had an issue with the stock jig hook on a 6'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks19604 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I use a razor blade to cut a small slot in the top of the bait then put the small rare earth magnet in and put 316 glue over the hole make sure not to close the skin back over the magnet though. I also use 80 lb mono and a 100lb crimp and rig the treble like butch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadinesmom Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 jig hook has always worked great for me. you gotta keep in mind that most of the fish that hit a hudd hammer the ish out of it and you wind up with the bait deep in their mouths. if there's one bait i have a great hook up ratio on, it is the 68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks19604 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 He doesn't mention the magnet but you can clearly see there is one. Also if you read the comments on youtube he mentions it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delawareswimbaits Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 You're all insane. Keep it simple stupid. Jig hook is fine. If anything, bend it out some. I don't care what butch brown does, I don't catch 19# bass. Jig hook works for me, I don't understand why everyone fucks up their hudds. I think Don posted something about the ROF 5 coming out with a jig hook, I can't wait. I'm sick of screwing up baits by jamming hooks in them. And don't give me the oh just get hiddlebond crap, I want a $30 bait to catch fish without having to mod it or glue it back up after every fish.

So I'm guessing you don't change the hooks out on your triple trouts, slammers, deps... etc? Not even after they bend out right? swimbaitman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's totally different, comparing trebles, some of which are weaker, with a perfectly acceptable, and sharpen able jig hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
