autogyroenthusiast Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Good day, I am new here and am looking to start with inline spinners. One of the first one's I'd like to try will look like a Mepps Black Fury Combo Killer (one of my favorite baits) - the ones that have a curly tail grub on the back end. My question is what kind of hook do you think would be best to rig a 4" curly tail grub to the end of an inline spinner. I'm concerned about ordering a certain kind of hook that may prevent the lure from running true. Mepps uses a Mister Twister Keeper Hook but I can't seem to locate these or similar at Captain Hooks or other places that have better bulk deals. Or would a standard EWG hook t-rigged be OK? Thanks for your assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 You could use a regular worm hook depending how you rig the grub. If you are going to rig it weedless then by all means get the worm hook you like in the size you want and go from there. If you liked the mister twister keeper hooks then take a look at the eagle claw swimbait hooks with barb, these are almost identical to the old style mister twister keeper hooks. Another option is to use a 60 degree jig hook like the Mustad 91768 EWG and use a screw type holder like the way a lot of swimbaits are rigged. Your hook shouldn't matter too much with the spinner running true as long as your wire is straight, the spinnerblade is placed properly and is the right size, and your line tie loop is made well and if you have the mepps spinner to copy it should be pretty easy to copy, just take your time and have fun. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatman Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 For that size grub I wouldn't use anything less than .031 stainless steel wire. The hook shouldn't matter to much as long as you use the right size blade, for that size grub you're minimum is gonna be a #3 - no matter what type of blade you use. You can buy the same hooks from Mister Twister here http://www.mistertwister.com/information/keeper-worm-hook/388#description a little better but not much. But Smalljaw is right you can use that Mustad 91768 EWG which is pretty pricey, or what I use is an old Eagle Claw 45 automatic worm hook - which works just as good. But look around at different worm hooks they'res a bunch out there. If you need more help give a shout. Fatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
