MOPanfisher Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Been having some issues missing strikes while walleye fishing. Them critters are rare enough that I hate missing them. Am thinking about putting a stinger hook on the jig. Using an 1/8 Oz jig head, with I think a 1/0 hook. Have some extra 1/0 hooks I could put on as a stinger. Would it kill the action of the swimming jig? Would it snag up more. Generally I keep it up above the rocks, but sometime it bounces off them.
Blll Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Mo, usually a walleye stinger is a #10 or a #8 treble with live bait. Are you using a plastic with the jig?
MOPanfisher Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 Yes it's a plastic jig. Found several on line using a treble with a jig. However I have made two prototypes since I just couldn't get the dang thing tied short enough, so I opened up the eye of another hook and put it on the main. Will see if it works, won't have lost anything.
