Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
understand the principle but can you tell me<br />how you rig them and when you use them and what<br />type of hooks I need???<br />thanks in advance,<br />M.Y.
MY ,I use fireline for my trailers and a small<br />snap to attatch to jig head or bait, lure. <br />Depending on the rig lenght I make adjustments to<br />suit length. At the end of the trailer I use a <br />small treble hook,sometimes just left to follow along or on bait attatched with a barb near the <br />end of the rig. Works for me.
it used to be hard to find a hook with an eye big enough to slip over the main hook- but now you can buy a whole pack of em at BPS. i mainly use them on 'safety-pin' style spinnerbaits & spoons with single hooks (not the treble kind).<br /><br />you slip them over barb on main hook so that they point same direction. put a piece of rubber on main hook to keep them in place. even better is slipping the little piece of clear rubber hose on the trailer's eye, so the main hook's barb goes thru it - it holds well.
