Husky Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I see Sluggo offers lures with rigged hooks cast in. My question is what damage will the heat do to the line used for rigging and does anyone successfully cast rigging into their lures? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braid such as Spectra .... did not work for me .. regular nylon or mono is OK (mono cuts out real easy)You could use wire OK but (single strand would cut out real easy I would use braided coated) My 2 cents JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to make some rigged,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artificial All The Way Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I do and use 50 to 100lb Dacron, 80lb wire, and 30 to 80lb fluorocarbon. Have not had any issues with breaking. Took dozens of blues in the teens this yr on plastics lined with wire. I have one mold I have holes in both front and back for the hooks. I put a hook up front with the line attached and then run the line out the back to a trailer hook. Hook eye sticks out front of mold and hook part sticks out back. Plug both holes around the hook shank with clay so no plastic runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
