here is something i have been messin with. i use it vertical jigin. works good, i am going to try some different hooks. the hook in the pics is an owner mosqueto hook size 4. maybe try matuzo next. http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/v...4/IMG_0092.jpg http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/v...cat_04/002.jpg
Those are different,but those baits hang horizontally which is what we want in a bait.I usually have to adjust my head after almost every bite.
:)I call this method my "Nee No Rig" thats short for need no jig head. When i first had the idea i used a standard crappie tube. I made some insertion weights that slide inside the tube from the back. I then made a band applicator tool, to place the silicone bands on tube that the hook slips under. I got perfect balence and no jig head needed. I have since taken the idea to all types of jigs. Set it up and you get that horiz. hang.Quote:

Great idea!
i have seen this befor in fla tarpon fishing in boca they need alot of lead to get down in the fast moving water and then theres a 2nd prob when a tarpon breaks water all that lead and there head shakes will pull the hook out
so they came up with something kinda like that but its set up when they set the hook the lead drops off and only leaves the hook in the fish
