Re: Looking for a single hook for hanging a grub on In-Line spinner

I don't know , wether you intend to render your in-lines weedless with this single hook(with added screw lock and hookpoint hidden into grub)or you just want to add attraction to them .

I have tried the first version as well many years ago with wide gap worm hooks , that had a sort of "needles" fixed onto the hookeyes (to poke on the grub) . Haven't fished these a lot those days and later disassembled them again , I just don't believe in good hook-up possibilities of such a lure , since the hook might probably rotate on retrieve , unless weighted on the shank , for the hookpoint always to ride upright .

I have tried this "weighted hook" rig as well , but fish were very reluctant at that time as well , don't remember to have caught on either model .

You may laugh at me , but I don't like metal ,-or wood lures with attached plastics too much , because of storing problems , since the plastics might affect paint or decal foil on those lures and all ends up into a sticky kinda jelly !

Still use them ocassionally , but I'd always put a plastic bag over the grubs or take them off for separate storage .

If you only want to add attraction to your spinners , why not snipping off the third hook pronge(the one soldered on) , possibly grind the remaining wire end flush down to the hookshank .
This way you can now poke on your grub easily and fix the now double hook to your spinner with a splitring .

greetz , Dieter
