I couldnt resist and picked up some of those myself. Am trying to think of a way to rig them. They definately need some weight and insert weights would seem to take away from the appearence. Tandem hooks or a single in the head or in the tentacles like a tube?

If Tsunami or Storm made some of these pre-rigged and weighted like their other baits......

Thumbs up

I made a spreader bar last year out of the purple/pink ones for SBFT. It wasn't in the water 3 minutes before the first tuna took it. The only thing wrong with them is that you have to super glue the eyes in palce as they fall out. Other than that they are the balls for sbft trolling.

Why even try.........

Tail end....NOT the tentacle/eye/head end .............. Large single bait hook

In the end that is flared which goes 1st when they swim....seems bass hit this end first...you could put a swivel just ahead of egg sinker and hook or toothpick jammed and glued.

Thanks for the tip on the eyes Flaptail!

Good health and family
