Markell Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I thought the plastic experts would be better for this one. Lately I have been dipping spinnerbait trailer hooks in plastic. (the hook eye end). I do this to eliminate storing additional items to install trailer hooks. I have not caught a fish on the trailer hook yet but It has held up through hours of fishing. I am satisfied with the performance. But, am I taking a chance of losing a fish doing this? I just want to make adding a trailer a little quicker on the water. Any thoughts?

SeminoleFan Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Markell, I dont see any reason why you would lose a fish by dipping your hook eye into plastic. I personaly use plastic tubing that you get at walmart for fishtank air lines. No problems. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Ive tryed this idea a long time ago, no good the plastic is too soft even with hardener. It is a better to use tubing and not risk losing a big fish. I lost several hooks in fish and suggest you stick with tubing. Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richoc Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 You can use the tool "dip-it " stuff. 2 dips and you will be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Good idea rich that stuff is tough, its the same stuff handles on pliers are made of for those of you who dont know. You can buy a can of it at lows for around 6bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
