Legendary Lures Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Belly hook only or a second hook on the face end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Larry, I think if you put two split rings on the belly and then put the treble on it would be about perfect. The important thing is to have the treble points just behind the end of the lure. Take a look at this hotshot which is very similar in shape. The other option would be to go to one single siwash off the back hanger and do away with the belly hook. The siwash hook should be pointing upward by again using two split rings and the the hook. This is how I se up all my tadpollies and man are they ever mean...if a fish takes you have him every time. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 One hook but move it back a bit if it doesn't affect the balance too much. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apb Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I would go with one belly hook. Bass are head hunters so you'll hook them. This will give you a wider wobble. If the wobble is too much, you could add a short section of wire to the back. Tie some bucktail on the wire too. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 One hook should do the trick. What a great looking lure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lure--Prof Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I might have more than one hook configuration for this lovely lure, but I really like Jed's idea of the upturned single siwash--the lure would come through cover great, and the siwash is a wonderfully effective hook that most bass & etc. anglers have overlooked!
