pigmurkerz Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hey guys I recently moved down to Clearwater Florida and have pretty much been ruined by the salt. I want to use my glides for tarpon and snook but the trebles will not cut it. I thought i saw a pic somewhere of a gancraft that had a harness with two J hooks. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinpunk Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 http://www.ownerhooks.com/treblehooks.htm Maybe something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinpunk Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I have used these on minnow type baits for rooster fish but not on glide baits. I will be trying them on my next trip to Islamorada, in the spring so I am also curious how they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigmurkerz Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Those look good! i am wondering if i need some sort of harness or a way for the hooks to get away from the bait once the fish hits it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurejerk Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 They work, they look crazy but they work. These I use on the 12" Basara northeast_trev, pigmurkerz and everythingthatswims 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinpunk Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I like it! I was considering these also but figured the would kill the action of a glide. Thanks fellas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Frog Man Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Inline hooks. Use then on striped bass. Supposedly have a better hook up ratio than trebles. I've hooked everyone that's bitten it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I like it! I was considering these also but figured the would kill the action of a glide. Thanks fellas! Probably not on the big glides..def will create drag on the lil baits..but if your going for large Tarpon your prob using a larger bait? pigmurkerz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinpunk Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I've caught 100+ #s on 5-6 inch lures and live bait. The problem with big lures is they can throw them easier. Really none of this matters because I just enjoy working glide baits to fool fish. I'll have to do some experimenting up here before the water gets hard! I think I have a set or 2 of assist hooks I could borrow from a butterfly jig. pigmurkerz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigmurkerz Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Awesome!! Thanks so much guys .. I really appreciate the input!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Chee Outdoors Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 In the end my best setup was those butterfly jig hooks and some smaller hair rubber bands to keep them tight to the bait! Good luck!!! pigmurkerz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinpunk Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks man, exactly what I was going to try, much appreciated! Did you get any tarpon to the boat with a glide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
