Since things are slow this time of year, here's a ? I've pondered for a while.
whats the best Weedless hook setup?
Heaven knows I've put many hooks in brush over the years and I'm thinking I can do better.
I'd like to use it with minnows too.
thanks

Just tie a slip knot around your minnow . Use those.Trained Blue Attack Minnows that Remus has. The minnow can slip out of the line , throw a little kung-fu fighting on the fish. They surrender and swim to the top so you can net em. Oop's I forgot you and CK threw the net in the lake.:Rofl:Rofl
My first thought was not tie a hook on. Ofish beat me to the draw with a really good way. Get the net! :Rofl :biggrin
I tell you there is a fountain of knowledge on this site. Hard to get help like this anymore. :hatchet:
I'm getting the feeling that Ofish is tired of my tearing up his secret , crappie kid, honey holes !Quote:

From now on, I'm going to post average, little Ofish and CK type,1 year old , trophy fish.
A cheap, effective method for making a hook semi weedless is to take a small, dental rubber band and loop it thru the hook eye and stretch it, attaching it to the barb. This is also an effective way to keep live bait on the hook.

we know where it is, we are running an extensive rust experiment.
It's unsinkable and rust proof :Rofl
Now,
i started this thread with a real question and you hobby horses have hi jacked it.
im glad I stayed above the fray.
I'm sorry I fell in with ofishlbizzness. I should be made to fish all your brush piles to rid those old limbs that you get hung up on. Then you could fish all day worry free! :Rofl:biggrin
Obama's latest plan is to tax us per brush pile visited.Quote:

Talk to Grousefly & see which one of these weedless jigheads would serve you best :
Attachment 187997
Grousefly can custom make them in different hook sizes, hook styles, hook colors, weed guard colors, weedguard styles & materials, and jighead weights. He custom makes my favorite sizes ... 1/32oz & 1/16oz ballhead ... with #2 Aberdeen hooks. (most commercially made weedless jigheads have #4 or smaller hooks in those weights)
My favorite is the one on the top row, second from the right ... the Y-guard style. I use it for 99% of my jig casting, and have even used it under a 1/2oz sinker when slow drifting along a bank with deep brush.
I refer to it as "slow drifting" for the simple fact that I'm using 10ft or shorter rods, angled at 45-90deg .... rather than longer rods pointing forwards. It's kinda pseudo-spider rigging IMHO. But, I am working on getting 3 (14') outfits set up, so I can try "true" Spider Rigging and compare it to my "slow drifting" technique to see which one I prefer. I may or may not use weedless jigheads when using either of these techniques ... but, I'll definitely have one on when casting or shooting docks !!
