dchance Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I really like the fastach style swing jigs. thinking of pouring them without the hook and using a spit ring to attach the hook. due to the hook angle I am thinking of using swimbait style hooks with a hitch hiker to attach the bait. thoughts?

dsqui Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 That should in theory work just try one or two to make sure u aren' gonna get tangle in there. Between the hitch hiker split ring and where it attatches...i just use ewg worm hooks with out a split ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchance Posted May 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I was thinking a hook like this. I now use an EWG without split ring but that defeats the purpose of being able to change out hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsqui Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Ya I don' see the need for the point in switching out hooks. I' not saying you couldn' just don' see point in it u can run that same swim bait on an ewg hook . Or just make some extra jigs so u r just retiring your jig not trying to switch hooks.

dchance Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) I do it all the time with my fastach swing jigs. very nice to keep same weight and downsize bait/ hook. minimizes the amount of jigs you need. can use bigger hooks or different styles based on baits. plenty of reasons to have the ability to switch hooks. I just don't want to pay for the fastach. I pour my own and want to figure out a way to have that ability with the do it mold Edited May 3, 2018 by dchance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I just use an EWG and split rings. I would be worried that the bait keeper/coil would interfere with the split ring in the hook eye and cause the bait not to run correctly.

Bassinfool Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 These are the hooks I have been using. https://www.barlowstackle.com/Mustad-91768NP-BN-Jig-Hook--P403.aspx https://www.barlowstackle.com/VMC-7346-45deg-Swimbait-Jig-Hook-P3787.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchance Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 how do you keep the plastic bait from sliding down the hook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 It's not a problem I have very often. In the event that it does occur, a drop of super glue on the shank of the hook does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
