diemai 234 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share I like the natural minnow look of the paint design ! I would switch the rear hook to a bigger , longshanked one , since the tips of the prop are potruding too much over the hookpoints , could result into less hook ups like this ! greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment
u63405 1 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share thanks diemai!! and ur right! that rear hook is a problem. I'll have to switch it you like you said. Quote Link to comment
mark poulson 2,567 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share That's a nice looking bait. Should be killer in the spring and fall, or whenever the fish are feeding on top. I agree with Dieter. That rear hook does look kind of dwarfed by the prop. You can extend it back with a series of split rings if you can't find hooks with long enough shanks, but a larger hook will get into the fish's mouth before he hits the prop. Quote Link to comment
u63405 1 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share thank you Mark! I like your Idea as well. I wanted to change out the hook for a longer shank hook but don't have one on hand. I'll try adding more split rings and see how this works. Can't wait for spring to arrive to give this one a try!!! Guess I'll pump out a few more while I wait8O Quote Link to comment
