Attachment 54719 - Here is a simple one
Use a quality #4 Hawaiian snap & owner ST 66 treble #4
Use a bit if shape tube over the barb & press into back cavity ( security)
This same set up works on Hollowbelly type lures too

Hi all,
I have been playing around with attaching stinger hooks to plastics i.e. Storms and Slick Rigs using wire, mono and split rings etc.
Can anyone out there shed some light on what works for you and how to rig these up?
This topic has probably been out before however cannot find the posts.
Thanks...

I notice of a lot of ABT guys (inluding the pro's on the AFC tour) are adding a stinger to their plastics.
Chris,
Thanks for info, just to make sure I understand how place the snap on the plastic's hook, you make a hole in the bottom of the plastic with a covered barb, place the snap over the plastic's hook and clip on the treble.
Sound about right?
Regards
Peter

Peter, try a good quality black swivel over the main hook, with a split off the swivel to the treble.
The tube that comes with the squidgeys can be shortened up and slid back over the hook as Chris sugested for insurance.

I'm liking this, thanks guys. What about methods for reducing weight in Slickies and SSS"s.
Pete.
Seeems to work mate, fat pig of a 112 matted, it was hooked only on the treble, main jig hook wasnt touching anything.
Those little #3 and #4 black swivels are rated at 80/90+ pound, better rating than the Owner and Decoy splits, and the swivel characteristics providing less leverage to a hooked fish thrashing its head?
Much appreciated guys, very simular to what I currently use but yours are better improved. I bought those Hawaiians years ago but never really used them, so I guess it paid off.
Can't wait to try them out.
Thanks again.
That's good Brian......I wasn't sure what the swivels were rated at....That is certainly another option and would be a tad neater than the Hawaiian snaps.
Pete.......I just nibble away at the Jig head with my fence wire cutters to what I think is enough.......not having a pool or a large container to observe drop rates, it's a bit hit and miss in my case, I don't place alot of attention to accuracy at this point....at home the emery wheel would do the job.
Good Mates....Good Food.....Good Fishing....Priceless
