Other Tips:
You can use the same methods to rig a 3X lure onto your hook, jig
or lure as you do with regular plastics. When threading a 3X lure
onto you hook, the hook point and barb will easily go through the
lure for rigging and hook set. The material is so durable that you
can push the hook all the way through and then “skin-hook”
it (Fig. 10). This can enhance hook-sets. Don’t be alarmed
when you re-rig you lure after catching a fish, changing colors
or getting it straight on the hook that the barb will catch on the
material as you back it out of the lure (Fig. 11). Go ahead and
pull it back out. It won’t really hurt it. The material is
extremely elastic and almost heals itself (Fig. 12). |
When choosing a jig-head, it is best if the barb is not too close
to the head of the jig (Fig. 13). When rigging a 3X Grub onto a
jig head, push the barb deep into the body of the Grub so that it
can catch hold of the material (Fig. 14) This is important. Once
on (Fig. 15), it will stay on much better than regular plastic.
In fact, “screw lock” types of rigging devices are not
needed. |
