Looks like you'd have to slit the whole bottom of the fish, insert the thingie and sew the bait up.

Too much trouble and the metal lip means the thing'll cast like an old shoe---just rig a 6" shad body on a 4 oz jighead

Looks like an awful lot of work to me. Better off buying a lure

Yeah, but then you'd have the body flopping every which way on the cast and retrieve

Sumpin has to hold the body rigid

Maybe that "flopping every which way on the cast and retrieve" gives the bait a "natural" swimming action
With all those hooks, bet you could get all those blues that bite your pogies tail off.

Maybe it works like an old style rigged eel needle where you slide the wire hookless through the mouth an out the vent tighten up and slide on hooks?

Well. after all that work, I hope it catches fish. It's got more wiring than a boat though.
