There is a video showing an alternate way of pinning on a T rig soft plastic using the spring centering pin. He used an alternate way that showed him screwing the centering pin all the way into the soft plastic where the eye is flush with the bait. Then he pushed the point of the hook through the centering spring in such a way as to secure the bait. Anybody know that video?

Don't know the video. But the hook doesn't go through the pin, it goes through the bait. Then you can skin hook it.

 

Thanks guys, I found it. It was one of Ike's videos. I would post a link but, I am not sure it is allowed, again thanks for the replies.

No not this one. As I stated it is one of Ike's videos. I will try to post a link. Thanks anyway.

But, like I stated above, he screws the centering spring all the way flush and then inserts hook point into the spring then out the side as a normal T rig. I am going to put in the link, I hope I am breaking no rules.

I tried but no go , sorry.

 

OK guys I botched trying to post a link. Everything went red and said hidden. I apologize for my incompetence. The video is one of Ike's video in a series called "Ike in the Shop" it is on you tube. If you are interested send me an email and I will send you a link.

 

Which Ike in the Shop is it?  Shouldn't be any problem posting a YT vid.

 

Ah!, I may have got it right this time, maybe

BTW, if you are using the ones with the center pin, which make it easier for me to start and keep it centered, once most of the way in cut the loop and remove center pin to allow room for hook to go into the center of the coil.

I wonder if that trick   would work well  with a Toad .?

It does go through the pin, see video.

IDK, but it works with tube baits very well.

It looks like it would work with ANY soft plastic.  Thanks @Ronnieh
