Dressing spinner hooks

[william cohen]

I'm partial to single hooks for my spinners.  I'm looking into tubing. They are made from different composites. Don't know which to choose, for the shank of the hook. ID would be very useful. I am also thinking if making a weedless hook out tubing or a plastic worm .  Thank you for your help.

I use 1/8" inside diameter tubing. I mostly use latex tubing as I can use it as tubing on spinner hooks and also for attaching trailer hooks to spinnerbaits and buzz baits. It is flexible enough to get over most hook eyes.

For dressings, I sometimes use a few silicone strands from old skirts. Pass the strands through the hook eye, fold down, and secure it with a small piece of shrink tubing slid on over and past the eye.

For a weedless spinner, you can also use swimbait hooks with corkscrews to rig any softplastic as a weedlees trailer. Attach the swimbait hook to the spinner with a split ring. I have used hooks like an Eagle CLaw 249W on spoons. You could try some hooks like those on spinners.
