Popper top water stingers

[oldbarboy]

Just wondering what surface lures people put stingers on.

Also, there are days when ribbon and other weed drives me crazy when using surface lures. How do you guys make surface lures weedless as possible?

Thanks

Most of my bream and whiting surface lures sport assist hooks. Though, if you want to go weedless, maybe pink grubbing may be the go.

Do you use the Ecogear replacement ones or tie your own?

Yeah, the ecogear ZX assists mate. They do a good job.

Yer they are good. Been tying a few stingers with a bit of fly tying stuff that looks prawn whiskers.

Nice, sounds like they are the goods, hopefully you nail a few fish on them mate.
