Tackle builders? (Dutch)

Can you make anything like this.  https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/gamakatsu-g-stinger-trailer-hook?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=BPS|Shopping|Smart|Fishing|General|NAud|TopPerf|NMT&gclid=CjwKCAiAxP2eBhBiEiwA5puhNbYeoXTaamwRMW3IwtX6IcBXXtlOfPV9jBTARoU3bNeaLH9mp4wkTBoCoeAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

I tried out of some 60lb braid and it just doesnt work for me, i want them in 2/0

I have done them for vertical jigging spoons, but with heavy fused braid (it is stiffer). I used a snell knot at the hook and a double palomer at the O ring.

I’ve never even seen anything like that.  What does one do with them?

They replace trebles on spoons and tail hooks of cranks. They make hard baits qualify for "no treble" zones and reduce hangups when vertical jigging trees. They work great for those purposes.

You can also use them as "stingers" on large bait setups. Cinch the line to the first (normal) hook and use the first hook to lip hook a chub. Then use the stinger to have a second hook farther back in the bait.

I put them up by the line tie on my 5" flutter spoons

I looked at some videos.  None had the big loop like the Gammy.  Do you need that big loop?  How do you attach it?

[Dutch]

I experimented a little.  I only have 2 types of hooks that aren’t jig or worm.  I tried some coated 45# surflon.  It was way too stiff to wrap around the hook shank.  I doubled some 17# fluorocarbon and snelled it.  That may be an answer for you depending on how strong your line needs to be.

Looking around for material all I could find was floral wire.  Since I don’t know how you use it I did a hook anyway.

If you want to front attach to a flutter spoon, try threading a length of heavy braid through the o ring on the spoon. Then use the doubled ends to uniknot snell to your hook?
