Default Re: Stinger hooks for fluke

I pre-tie 4/0 Gamagatsu hooks with about a 4-5inch piece of 20lb test mono to the eye of the bucktail then tie my main line to the bucktail and then a teaser about 18 inches above. I’ll use either a strip bait or a 5 inch gulp grub. I don’t like the assist hooks because they have heavy Dacron and I feel it is to much drag on the strip bait and does not give the strip bait a natural flow in the current like a thin piece of mono. I started using stinkers hooks about 8 years ago on my bucktails and my hook up ratio easily doubled.
