stinger hooks for bream

[Slick-Ackers]

hey guys just wondering has anyone ever tried putting stinger hooks in gulp shrimp or any other bream plastics me and my mate were fishing the kayaks today and did not get a bream in the yak on a plastic they just repeatedly kept getting off so i was thinking maybe a stinger would help but i have no idea on how to put them in without making the plastic spin or make it look out of whack any advice?

swinging stinger, or inbedded into the plastic? coz in the barra dams they use swinging stingers that work well

A mate put me onto some mosquito hooks (which are very small) and a short piece of fluro conntects it to the mainline. I embedd in the bottom of the shrimp.

wouldnt tieing the fluero to the main line weaken the main line? or not

yep Mozzie hooks, $2.95 from Mo tackle for 10 or size 14 decoy trebles.
stick two of the three barbs into the plastic, leaving 1 hang low.

good luck,

Have a look at the Gama G-stingers looped onto the hook after youve rigged the plastic.

do use put the stinger under the plastic or on top?

[joeking]

On top

ok thanks ill be sure to give it a go

this confuses me, you use a leader to keep your lure far away from the highly visable braid, but the G-Stingers are made outa very heavy braid? how does this work?

Do a search on the site, there's been a lot of talk on how to use stinger hooks.

tie fluro to bend of jig hook

I tend only to run stingers on stiff placcies like gulp shrimps. and just tie a small lenth of 6lb fluro to the eyelet of the jig head then push it towards the back and tie the leader on infront of it. the just pin one treble point just under the tail of the shrimp leaving 2 points exposed. Has worked well for me so far, caught fish as recently as sunday using this method.

do you use a treble hook? or just a plain hook
