Stinger hooks

[Hotshot]

I am not sure if anyone has tried this but is it possible to put a stinger hook on a soft plastic grub?

Thanks for the link.
But i wasnt sure if the stinger would ruin the action of the grubs tail, i will still give it a try..... It was very frustrating this arvo getting big hits with the tail missing, only millimetres away from the hook!

Nah mate, it would just mess up the tail action.. What size grub? most grubs used in breaming are only 2 or 3 inches long anyway.

Yeh i was using a 2 inch grub and i kept getting short bites.... I only fished a short time and i had a few big hits and 1 undersize whiting. I lost a good size tailor too, but that was hooked when i was bringing the lure in fast.
Would anyone recomend tying a stinger with thin braid, hidden in the lure mostly?

Nah wouldn't recommend it in a 2" grub, if it's choppers chomping your tails well you should switch to a hardbody. if you think its bream than you need to choose more a robust plastic or use hardbodies. What grub are you using?

Gulp pumpkinseed grub, i think they were bream coz i was getting the hits at the bottom in about 4 - 5 metres of water, and the takes were slow and heavy.

Gulp isn't plastic so you will always have issues with fish nicking the tails.. Try placcies like Atomic 2" fat grubs or Squidgy wrigglers.
