CG_Fishes Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I have been dressing my trebles recently as something fun to do during the winter lull. I was wondering what your takes on the idea of dressed Vs. non-dressed trebles is. The way I see it the dressed trebles hide the hook a little bit and add the appearance of a fin, blood or feet in the case of the rats. These are my first ties ever so feedback on them is also appreciated. I will run this "experiment" throughout the season to see if it makes a difference compared to past seasons bassfiend72, 119bowhunter, japanesebassman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfiend72 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I don’t know if they help. I do know i wish you would make me some for a Punker and Megadog I have. Ha Ha Those looks great. Let us know what they do to your bite. Jon P and CG_Fishes 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate it, I wouldn't be opposed to tying some hooks if there was demand. Gotta start buying my own supplies, get out of my dad's stash... Hopefully you will see these baits hanging out of fishs' mouths in the got'em and flipside section. I think that mag is destined for a few more pike bassfiend72, Unclefish4life and Jon P 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalBassBum Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I started making my own after getting into making my own assist line hooks. I like to run a feathered (usually red) front hook on most of my bigger glides as a target for the fish to aim for. I honestly cant say if they help or not but its a confidence boost for me. I did seem to notice I got more consistent bites running a feathered rear hook on my crawler baits. Your definitely doing a great job on the hooks.

I'm definitely thinking about adding a single red feather on the front of some of my glides that I use more for esox. I'm also toying with the idea of adding feathers and crystal flash on the back hooks of my big walking baits. Just ideas for now, but I appreciate your input and it definitely affirms my theory SoCalBassBum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Nice work. I have a theory that if you use those fish attractant wax sticks, you can get the tail to permanently split like a real fish tail. Be careful those sticks are messy and ruin skirts.

BoatSquirrel Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I just ordered some feathers off ebay for the same thing. That magdraft looks killer-really like the top hook! We are after the biggest fish in the lake so it can not hurt to hide those gaffs hanging off the bottom! Good luck bro CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harshwaters Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I run the feathered Ryugi hooks on my Monka. The bass seem to like it. I don't think feathered hooks have a negative impact CG_Fishes and SoCalBassBum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck bro It's a lot of fun, keeps the creative juices flowing. And thanks, I added that after missing a bunch of bites from pike. I mainly use this mag for river pike fishing and they eat it after you pop the bait which flips it so I figured adding a top hook wouldn't hurt. Hopefully they like the "blood trail" I put on hahaha. 2 hours ago, Harshwaters said: I run the feathered Ryugi hooks on my Monka. The bass seem to like it. I don't think feathered hooks have a negative impact I definitely don't think it's going to have a negative impact, I can only think it will be neutral or positive. I'm excited to see how the fish react to the glide the most, hoping to get more biters and less followers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKNNH Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Manny Chee talks about this a lot and for him it seems to work. Logically it makes sense too. CG_Fishes and SoCalBassBum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chee and Ceasar are the two guys who made me want to try feathers. Chee with the glides, and Ceasar mentioned it in one of his videos on rats. We will see if it makes a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Attached is a pic of my accidental discovery of what the fish wax sticks do to feathers. Looks great on the pause, gives it a fish tail look. Unfortunately, I trashed all of my sticks out of frustration from all the damage they do to other baits with tails skirts etc. I didn't think they worked well as scents either.

Eric Peterson Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 In my experience they don't help. I don't think I fish pressured enough lakes for something like that to make a difference. CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
