bradley4bengals Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I am working on a swimbait, and I am new to swimbaits. So I am wanting to figure out how to put a treble hook on it. Maybe run some leader making material through it and attach a split ring at the nose of the bait and my treble to the other end at the belly? Just a thought and if that is a good idea what all would I need to do this? Any advice would be helpfull. And what would be the best way to weight it or should I? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinfool/2 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 that may work, but you may tare up the bait with the hookset pulling the leader material through the body of your bait. check out Dewl's chub E it has an insert that your line goes through and ties to the hook. kind of costy but looks like it would work. just a thought good luck keep trying you'll get it Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 there are a few ways to do it, depending on the bait and the size,it can be anywere from a wire harness to just a piece of plasic tubing. for example: 316 minnow run a piece of small dia tubing through the nose and out the botom at an angle, this tubing is simply the stuff taht goes on rc car antennas. you run the line through it then attach your treble hook. baby e molds us a insert vs the tubing but still the same concept. line goes through and connects to a treble, the treble has one hook buried into the belly. other molds use a weighted wire harness with an eyelet sticking out the bottom top or both. the trebles are fixed on the harness via a split ring like a crankbait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
