Do you use weighted hooks, like the Mustad Grip Pin or TT Lures' ChinlockZ?
These hooks don't have a centering pin, like the Owner TwistLock hooks do, but there's a little lip at the front of the lure that keeps them in place.
To rig soft plastics on them, you need to slide the hook over the weight that's on the shank.
This isn't a problem for tough lures like Z-Man lures made out of their ElaZtech material, but for most other lures, it can rip or tear them and leave a gaping hole.
I used to avoid using these hooks with lures that weren't Z-Man lures, until I recently found this little hack.
You essentially rig the lure backward and it allows you to rig it properly without tearing it.
See how to do it in this video here.
Have any questions about this rigging tip?
Let me know down in the comments!

I totally literally thought this was the only way to rig onto a belly weighted hook! It’s the only way I’ve ever done it. .

Pin them onto the eye using a toothpick. It can be tricky with heavy leader. The wood swells and locks itself in normally.

Now I feel like an absolute bonehead not figuring this out a loooong time ago. I’ve torn several heads trying to thread over the weight 😂. Thanks for the tip!

Where swimbaits have a lateral slot, do you run the hook through that or do you have the hook come out from it?

Can u add a spring to those hook ?

@GeekingWithAndy 3 жыл бұрын

I bought a bag of 100s of bait springs from Amazon for a couple bucks. You can spin a spring onto the bend of the hook next to its eye (or into the eye itself, if there's no bend there)... Which effectively turns any hook into a screwlock hook.

I saw a video about 15 years ago that used the line to come up under the soft plastic, it’s a knot for the life of me I can’t remember, are you familiar with it?
