Stinger hooks

[Thunderman]

Does anyone tie or mold stinger hooks in their bucktail jigs some times you see them.I would much rather have them tied or molded than buy the ones you attach to the jig.Some I have seen with a small wire attached to treble how do you fasten the treble to the wire? thanks for any info Thunder

You can use wire or a #14 mono line, fasten it to a split ring by pinching on a leader clevis or by tying on. Then adjust to the length you want and attach to the treble by using a leader clevis. After you've tied a bunch up, dip the split ring into plasti-dip, hang and let dry.

I use an adjustable loop knot and mono for stinger hooks. Allows me to have a bunch in the tackle box and use them whenever I run into some short strikers.

Thunder - Are you looking for something for your summertime bucktail/worm combos or fall canal plain bucktails?

I have added a small trebel on some heavier mono or fireline right to my bucktails. I wrap em right onto the colar and down the shank then tie the jig like I normally would.

I cant say it has really paid off but I havent actually played with it much. I dont use much of a piece of worm when fishing them though. Alot of guys put on half a crawler, I use much less. Just want some scent and flavor...

DC, Yes that is the way I like them to be I have some one that USE to tie jigs for me and don't anymore.He use to tie them in on the collar like you said he used wire to the treble I don't know how he fastened it to the treble .I fish the bucktails with worm and I too only use a piece that covers the bend of the hook and tip.Thanks guys for your input Thunder

I've made some laker jigs for people and molded light wire into the lead. I wrap it around the hook bend, and have it follow the hook out the bottom of the mold. Once I was finished tying the jig, I wrapped a single colored hook on the wire, then finished it off with silver or gold tinsel.

I believe I know who used to tie up your jigs! I get some stuff through him. He just tied snelled hooks into the wrap, then snipped the mono off at the wrap.
