Alot of guys jigging for walleyes here in Ohio are using a small stinger hook attached to their jig. It consists of a small trebble attached to about 2 1/2" mono leader with a small loop in the end. The end is coated with some type of material that the jigs hook point is pushed threw. I want to make some of these, but I'm not sure what to use to coat the loop end to push the hook through. Any ideas?

I haven't made any, but I have some that I examined and it looks like a rubberized tool coating. These ones have a split ring dipped in some type of rubber to insert the hook through.
If our fellow tackle tinkerer, Magic 220 is around, I think he made these, and can probably give you a brand name or something.

I use stinger hooks on my Sauger jigs. But, instead
of tying them on mono try hanging a brass snap
swivel over your hook. Dip it in plasti dip. A size
10 is what I use. I use a larger stinger hook than
most people. size 6

ive been using these jigs my whole life for the lite bite in the late winter but ive recently wanted to try making my own any more ideas where to but the unpainted ones or maybe a mold.Then you could just run a swivel off the hook. anything would be helpful. thanks.
