customstixs Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Take a Norman speed clip thru the hole on the blade and clip it to the vertical eye on your favorite jig that has a vertical hook. Don't haft to use 2- O- rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Well that's a very clever idea. I like it. I love the Norman speed clips for crankbaits, however don't use them on spinnerbaits (SB'). I've lost too many SB's when casting. Somehow the wire eye of the spinnerbait gets under the speed clip and good bye. So now only for spinnerbaits I tie direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customstixs Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 If the hook eye is to small for the two round clips... then with some practice you can work that speed clip around where the wire end is in the hook and the two round clips hook in to the blade. Give that a try. I messed up a couple the first time I tried but it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamboni Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Use a long punch with a small enough point to fit through the hook eye and a slow taper. Use the punch to open the eye slightly, tap it very gently. Put the blade in and squeeze they eye closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
