Hey guys,
I just saw something new from a friend. He extends the blade hook shank by cutting it part way and then crimping 300# or 500 # mono to both ends thus making the hook longer. Now you don't need a trailer hook. He said this also helps the fish from throwing the hook because the mono is more forgiving than the steel shank. I'm going to try it and see if it helps...stay tuned. <>< <>< <>< <><

=IT CAN BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THE PAINT OR THE CHROME ON THE HOOK. CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THE BARB HAS SOME KIND OF GAP IN IT. YOU CAN'T HOLD ONTO A FISH WITHOUT A BARB. IF YOU SWING WHEN YOU GET BIT I BET YOU'LL HAVE A LOT OF HEARTACHES. KEEP WINDING TILL THE ROD LOADS UP AND THEN SWING. KEEP STEADY PRESSURE ON THE FISH FROM THERE ON AND YOU WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. THIS IS USUALLY A HIGH PERCENTAGE BAIT ONCE THE FISH IS HOOKED!GOOD LUCK BURGIE

I would make sure the hook is super sharp, I don't think a trailer is good out here, unless it's stained ( I still don't use them), the bait should look as natural in profile as possible. Don't swing on the hookset, a small jerk/pull while cranking like a mother is key. Keep cranking him all the way to the boat, it's not very exciting, but they will throw the weight of a spinnerbait right out .....12-15lb won't break on smaller fish (if you re-tie enough), the 4lb. plus fish don't tear in the mouth like the smaller fish so you can play them out if necessary (just stay as tight as possible....reel against your drag, if any), and when they do jump.....crank even faster! Completely different ball game than light-line stuff.I think I'm going to braid for no stretch too..... Gerryjig out

FYI... I have found that the best way to rig a trailer hook is to NOT put the surgical tubing over the eye of the hook, but to put the hook on and the place the piece of tubing on the hook afterwards. This will let the trailer hook swing freely. I found that when I did it the other way the trailer hook tended to get pushed out to the side causing my bait to track to the side. Since making the change, I have had no problems with it. I have also heard more than one "Pro" speak on the subject and have the same results. I just wanted to share what I had learned.

Thats should work as well. Just be sure that the piece of whatever it is; is not easily pulled through the large eye of the trailer hook. I believe that is why the tubing is used. Hope this helps you out.
