crappie fisherman Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) We made these back in our trout guiding day's.Had to quite when they went to barbless hooks. Trying some matzou sickles very small barbs and legal in barbless areas.Added a wire weed guard for crappie and bass fishing for those light bites.Costly and when you hang them up no getting them back.

clemmy Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Neat idea, but shouldn't you have a "V" weedguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Howe do you thread the two hooks into a bait so they wind up spread like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappie fisherman Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) The top picture shows them together inserted into bait "plastic"Can spread out or leave together depending on how heavy the brush. I know clear as mud.Also makes a Good frog jig head.Need the line tie a little more to the front and make those.Was taking some kid's/grandkids trout fishing they were having a hard time setting the hook.They changed the trout water's to barb less making these baits illegal to use.Was the deal for trout fishing.Mostly gravel bottom not much chance of losing .We would and still can catch 100 trout a day.In our trout rich river's.Trout have a soft mouth. With a double barb. easier for the kid's to hook the trout and get them to the boat.Into crappie fishing.Taking kids/grandkid's crappie fishing.Where we sit on top of the brush pile drop your jig down/With a float. bam crappie/bream on.Kids /grandkid's were losing fish right at the boat these jig's fixed that problem..

Tried a y weed guard with the use of braid line the line catches in the weed guard and is a nightmare.Just started using the wire weed guard.Still catches the line when casting .We use stainless steel wire the line slides off.Works better.Our two cent's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
