reelfish Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Has anyone ever modified a TT to turn one into a Heavy Sink? I want to work the bait deep. When I try to work the bait deep and rip the bait, it rises too fast and I have to wait for it to sink again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpeterbilt Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Super glue flat pieces of lead to the bottom of the bait. My old man used to do this with Rapala's. I'm sure it would work with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzeback Bomber Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Lead strips is the best. Storm lures makes suspend dots and strips that are made for jerkbaits but they work just as well on swimbaits. If you want to change it just a little put on larger hooks.

I never thought about the lead strips. I have tried larger hooks, it didn't seem to make too much of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 You can wrap thin lead wire or tape on the hook shanks too if you don't want to put them on the bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalliebigs Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 He has made some heavy versions. Hookeduptackle has 8" dark trout on their website. I know some people have had issues with orders from them, but mine have always gone through OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
