Send-it 64 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 hi all, upon using my 2" zman grubs, I noticed I was getting lots of bites from fish that were not quite big enough to engulf the jig head hook. But just to catch something, (albeit smaller ones), does anyone experiment with putting a little 'stinger' hook near the tail end of their soft plastic lure? I think I might try doing this, just to see if it helps. I know the tail section of the lure might not wiggle as good as it should, but if I keep the stinger hook small enough, (a little size 10 hook perhaps) it still might be ok. any thoughts/ideas?

Piranha 76 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 A snelled ZX assist hook would be the go, will increase hookups to fish and snags Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yorky 309 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Just leave a little slack line between the jig hook & the stinger to allow the plastics tail to work cheers Yorky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yorky 309 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I should have elaborated a bit more, the stinger I have used on plastics was a small treble with one of the hooks pushed into the tail end of the plastic, this helped me get some snook when they were biting the tails off of my squidgies Cheers Yorky Send-it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
