Wobblehead Question

[Adamfishes]

What is the proper way to rig these? I was going to use them with 9inch sluggo and surfhog. I see that there are two places to attach to the line what is the difference? And finally should I tie direct or is a snap cool? Thanks!

sorry I cant help ya there..I am also inexperienced when in comes to these..just bought my first one last month..

your thread gave me some ideas/questions, so...I hope you dont mind if i chime in...with a few.

the pt. jude wobble heads have a tip on the shank (for keeping the dead eels on i assume) how do you all get that point into the sluggos? do you cut the sluggo? cram the sluggo on the hook? or thread the sluggo up to the tip? which method has the best results?

also, with wobble heads...do you hook dead eels through belly or back/spine...usually the curve shape is on the hook side..my guess is the hook goes through eels back? Do you also tie the head/lips down too? thats how I rigged mine..then I lost it on the 4th cast

Well, I use the middle attachment for tandem hook rigging our 14" Real-Eels and the front loop as the line tie.

the jig head goes on with the hook going through the back.. on my eel, the back is the flat side. I dont think you need a 2nd hook with my 8.5 inch eel, but on my 12 inch eel which i am about to release you should rig a rear hook- a 6/0 or 7/0 live bait hook would be best and with that hook you want it to stick out of the belly- this will act like a keel. So the front hook us up and the rear hook is down...When you slide the jighead on, make sure to use some zapagap to keep it all together- alot of casting may rip the rubber and the eel may slide around if you dont use glue.

oh- like canalman says, the rear facing loop is to tie off the leader-

12''surf hog? sweeeeet. when?

[Pt.JudeJoe]

Besides using the eyelet in the middle of the Wobblehead to tie the second hook off to , ...if you want the lure to dive deeper , tie your line or leader to the middle eyelet and it will go deeper.

a couple of weeks if I dont screw anything up which has been known to happen

[Zeno]

my way of doing it is the same...

[Nebe]

nice Zeno

another thing i do is to tie a few half hitches around the the base of the wobblehead and glue it up before i tie off on the middle loop- this will help prevent tearing- if you dont do that and you get a rear hookup, its definately going to destroy the plastic.

No keepahs but it was the ONLY thing the bass wanted tonight.Then the bloos moved in but I only got one hog cigared.I know when to give up!

'hogs n 'heads is becoming my goto.When I hit the right spot I KNOW I'm gonna get something large.And with my woman going to some kind of tupperware thing Sat. night I got a free pass to go all night!
