Rodmaker Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 For those of you that use it, can you tell us how you typically like to rig this bait. THANKS?
Feathers and Fins Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 What are you wanting to do with it. Typical swim bait rigging works fine for bouncing bottom, trolling, or swimming it. for using as a jerk bait or slow sink bait I just thread the line through the body coming out just below in front of the tail tie on a #1 to 2/0 hook put some crazy glue on the line and pull the hook back in the bait. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
Champ188 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I put it on a 1/4-ounce head ... if I'm fishing it around timber, I use one of the screw-lock style heads so I can rig it weedless with the hook point buried in the body. In open-water situations, I use one of the newer open hook-style helmet heads specifically made for swimbaits.
Quillback Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I've been using them on 1/4 oz ball heads. I put a drop of superglue on the head to hold them on, darn things are soft and tear up easily. One of these days I'm going to try them on a c-rig.
Dewayne French Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Mostly A-rig and as Champ mentioned. The size is the best option the small make a great bait when the fry are small and you can move up in size with the same style bait and the colors are spot on.
rps Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Solid advice. Also works well on a slow death hook for walleye.

Rodmaker Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks for your input. I'm coming down to TR fqoor a couple of weeks in the middle of august..I will try your presentations.
bluebasser86 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 1/4oz jighead is my favorite way to fish it. Great little bait that will really catch them and will catch a nice mixed bag of fish a lot of days too. I've caught a ton of walleyes, whites, crappies, hybrids, drum, cats, just about everything on them
Champ188 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 This is what I refer to as a helmet head. http://www.basspro.com/Buckeye-Lures-JWill-Swimbait-Head/product/1111190501002/
