Plastic Cones

[delmuts]

I had seen on two different TV shows where they were using a plastic cone/cap that slip over the hook eye, and covered the nose on plastic baits.( they were using them on frogs ) this allow the plastic to slide thru the weeds easier without the nose of it hanging up as much.

Has any one seen these? Who makes them? Not having any luck searching on the web!

Delmuts, if they looked like bullet weights it could be a carolina floater. Bass Pro use to sell them. They were originally used to float plastics higher off the bottom when C-rigging. They are made out of some type of plastic.

Thanks Wayne. I've seen those, but these looked like a hollow cone that would slide over the plastic.

The boater I fished with the first day of the BASS state tourny on pokegama used these. they were really slick he never told me who made them, but he did give me one to use while punching rice. I looked for a while to find more after I lost mine to a northren and never had any luck. If you find them I would like to know were I could pick up a few.

I know what your talking about and I'm having a hard time finding them.

Here is a link to one type that screws in to the bait.

Link to Head Cone

Shaw Grigsby uses a red one while sight fishing, Its called a Shimmy head. He used it to win the first elite series event last spring on the Harris Chain. He said that having a bit of red on your soft plastics triggers fish to bite when they don't really want to. the One that shaw used did not have the screw and it fit over the top of the plastic a good half inch.

the ones i used you just ran the line through and it sat between the hook and weight. They fit perfectly over my mizmo tubes. It really helped the tube last longer when the rice would tangle around your rig.
