irishfield Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Didn't get much work done around here today...too busy dreamin of the big Gal waitin for me out on the bay. Got the Monster tubes I bought from RedOctober ready to go. They come with a weighted single hook..not sure what LARGE # it is..and I wanted to add trailer hooks. What did I have around here I thought....ah...032 stainless safety tie wire..some twistin pliers and I went to town. Ready for the Bay in the mornin. BTW..to give an idea of size...those are 6/0 trailer trebles and those pliers are 10" or so long! Edited November 3, 2007 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeh Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 what size sinker did you use, surprised you didn't rig one up with 2 sinkers for deeper water when you know the fish is under the boat. they do look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 The sinker and hook are the way they came from RedOctober. I believe it's an ounce...but the hook weights just as much. Plenty for a none current enviroment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Wayne could you accomplish the same deal with a ball bearing swivel snap on a treble hook and a piece of surgical tubing to hold it onto the main hook? Like a trailer hook on a spinner bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Sure you could Paul. Many ways it could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Just wondered Wayne, never used a tube that big, and never put a trailer hook on a bass sized tube. I have used the surgical tubing to add a rattle quickly and have hung a spinner off the hook to give more of a flash. Just like to be able to remove them easily.

irishfield Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Easy way Paul would be a snap swivel and a split ring. Use the swivel ring/split ring to put the treble on and use the snap over the single hook. A small disk of plastic with a hole popped over the hook barb..or like you say surgical tube if it' big enough to retain the snaps width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
