Vitaloutdoorstv Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Contemplating starting to use the plastic hook covers on my more expensive swimbaits but worried they'll wreck feathered trebles. Has anyone cut them or anything to prevent breaking the feathers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishing_Timny Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I've got some baits from japan and they cut a line in the hook protectors and flip them upside down. Seemed like a good idea to me. served the purpose BASS_SWINGER, jhoozie1, basskickinrednick and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut a line in the cover where the shaft of the treble goes and it's easy to slip it over the trebles upside down. No damage to feathers. brushhawg1 and Fishing_Timny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
