TMF89 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hey guys, just wondering how you rig some of the bigger plastics? I know jigs are the most common, but a lot of the super senkos and worms I have don't need the extra weight. Does anyone texas rig em? What hooks do you use? Any other options? I was thinking rigging them up like a Killer Eel, with two single hooks, 7 or 8/0s. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnipeZilla Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 straight up Texas rigged like the 9-inch slug-go package has. Sure saves a lot of money over other lures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMF89 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 What size/kind of hooks are those? The packages I bought didn't have any included in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RK Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hiya - Lunker City, the company that makes Slug-gos, also makes an 8/0 offset worm hook that's perfect for Texas-rigging big plastics. Might have to get them from their HSOforum, but a pack of 5 is about $4.50 or so. They also make 7/0, 9/0 and 10/0 weighted straight-shank hooks which work pretty well too. I bet with big swimbaits being so popular with bass guys these days you could also find some hooks there that would work - 6/0 or 7/0 Falcon swimbait hooks, or the big Diachiis. Personally, I use a single hook with big plastic baits like lizards, etc. Fish either head hunt them, or eat the whole thing....Cheers,Rob Kimm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Owner makes an 11/0 worm hook that rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
