7650, Question about stinger hook on the 10" Stocker Trout
Posted by Oliver, Thu Mar-09-06 02:44 PM
Hi guys, just wondering if you have trouble getting hung up while slow rolling the stocker trout on the bottom with the stinger hook rigged under the head? I bought 2 of them today to throw at casitas this weekend, I rigged one like the one shown in the review, with the stinger hook under the head. The other I rigged on the back behind the single hook. I definately like the look of the stinger hook below the head but I'm concerned about swimming the bait through the treetops and other submerged objects. What do you experts think? thanks in advance.

Go to www.cabelas.com
Type in snagmaster in the search box
Buy yourself the Cabelas Snagmaster lure retriever for $8.99

Go to the hardware store
buy a 50 or 75 piece of nylon cord

It'll be the best money you ever spent. You'll get 95% of your hung lures back.

I've said it many times about the Stockers..... You will hook 75% of your fish on the trap hook under the chin.

Get what Rob said on the lure retriever. It works.
