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.

Mo, usually a walleye stinger is a #10 or a #8 treble with live bait. Are you using a plastic with the jig?

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.
