Re: Looking for a single hook for hanging a grub on In-Line spinner
@ Spike-A-Pike
I understand , that those "Keeper" hooks and ordinary worm hooks are too weak for your purposes .
I know those "Octopus Faultless" hooks , used them in small sizes for eel , pike and zander(walleye) , rigging dead baitfish .
There are some more strong VMC saltwater hooks available in that certain catalog , model 9730PS(halibut) and model 9754PS(has little longer shank).
Though these European model codes may differ to the American ones , there should still be the same hooks available .
After the catalog pics the above mentioned hooks have a closed straight eye , still little larger than the eye on the "octopus faultless" , feature a straight shaft and are obviously not reversed .
The 9730PS(halibut) is also flattened and said to be forged , "PS" stands for "Permasteel" .
Due to the bigger hook eyes it might be easier to rig your homemade screw lock and splitring .
To let hookpoint always ride upright , I have put one or two splitshots onto the hookshank , but my spinners those days were smaller , I doubt , wether such would be possible with musky size lures .
