What Terminal Tackle I Use For Big Swimbaits! Hooks, Split Rings, Snaps, Etc.

Terminal tackle is a very important factor when it comes down to throwing big swimbaits. Many things can go wrong in this game so we try to prevent as many as those to happen by upgrading hardware on such baits. Today, I talk about the terminal tackle that I personally use and recommend for anyone getting into swimbaits.

Just caught a 5,7 and 10lb bass Saturday. The 10lb bass I caught on an 8in savage gear line through trout. Other two on the strike king megadog. Double digits are rare for here in east ky but I catch them every April for the last eight or so years. I never see anyone else around here using big swimbaits so they get really fired up when I throw them. Even if they won't bite it they'll follow it and then I'll get them to bite a seven inch fluke or walking bait. I love the spawn.

Owner now make an 8/0 with both 1/2 and 3/4 oz beast hook, I use on the citizen. The 3/4 looks like it won't work but it does. You can fish a citizen 15-20 ft with the 3/4. Pretty cool deal

@ex8280 2 жыл бұрын

Buddy lost a huge fish on the st36, bent out two of the three hooks on his swimbait. We swapped all of our 36's out for the 41 after that. lol. Have you tried the tactical Angler's clip? I've been doing well with those, the 25lb rated clip, held up well on a DD and a few carp.

@baja1k 3 жыл бұрын

Great video. On the owner sty-35mf on a bait like the Klash 9 do you go with a 1/0 like the stock hooks or do you upsize to 2/0?

@kevinatwell9781 3 жыл бұрын

outstanding information as always! I would like your opinion on split rings vs. tying hooks via assist with kevlar or cord; also have you experimented with twin hooks like I see in some Japanese videos? I also think that rather than adding the weight to your line ties it works great to add that weight to the tail end...that creates more side to side action without interfering with the hook.

@crazybassfisher 3 жыл бұрын

Well, I’ve used both split rings and pe assist line and honestly, both work great. The assist line is more natural and less flashy as a split ring. You get better twist with the assist line than just a normal split ring as well. The only down side to assist line is that it can be a pain in the ass to make and change out frequently. With the weight, you can definitely add weight anywhere for sure

@crazybassfisher 3 жыл бұрын

I have tried twin hooks before and hated them. I felt that the hook up ratio was bad with them actually. But if you got one pinned on it, it wasn’t coming off

I used tungsten putty once and never again... it's messy AF. You can do the same thing with rubber core lead sinkers (remove the rubber core, just use the lead), pliers, and a hammer to shape it any way you want or need. I'm definitely going to get a couple sizes of the STY35MF hooks to check out, had my eye on them for a minute. If they're good enough for Purcell, they're good enough for me.

@EliteNugz 3 жыл бұрын

Yea the rubber core sinkers are way easier. And they come in any size you need. And they're cheap. Only thing I use tungsten for is Texas rig baits when I'm in ultra clear water and want to make it as finesse as possible. Other than that I use lead.

@socalbassbum4323 3 жыл бұрын

Have you tried making your own weighted hooks? I run quads on most of my baits but they tend to change sink rate of most baits. I started making assist hooks and wrapping golfers lead tape in with the assist line. and than sealing it in with UV resin.

@crazybassfisher 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve never quite understood the weighted hook thing. I would just rather weight the actual bait instead but if it works, that’s awesome too.

@kevinzap.fishing 3 жыл бұрын

U should check out the owner ultras. I run the size 5 on everything, from my rm negotiatior to the hinkle trout, strongest ring on the market. So strong ur gonna need to buy a beefier set of split ring pliers to open them up

Mostly space. Sometimes you just don’t have enough room to fit the full size 2gram weight so the grenade weight can be used instead

I def mess with the decoy quad hooks an also the ryugi quad hooks an also wish they made larger sizes for striper lures but still a good hook because u have a higher hook ratio but if u want a strong hook the owner stinger 3x hooks are really great an strong an u cant go wrong with the decoy snaps there snaps are such good quality an its all I use for my cranks an jerk baits an some for swim baits.

I use the Abu Garcia max Toro. It's $150 but if you search on eBay you can get deals. They're solid swimbait reels. 25Lbs of drag. Way more power than any shimano even the tranx. Or if you want to spend more you can get the revo toro beast. It's the best of the best but I've caught everything on my max toro and it does great. Just caught a 5,7 and 10lb bass Saturday. But it'll also handle giant stripers and musky.

@EliteNugz 3 жыл бұрын

And huge trout swimbaits will catch bass anywhere even if you don't have trout.

@EliteNugz 3 жыл бұрын

Just as an experiment if you ever come across a bedding female you can't get to bite no matter what you throw that's when the trout lures work their magic. Huge bass will never turn down a rainbow trout. Never. That's if you make it look realistic.
