Threading other plastic types on the jig hook shank for chunks

Featured Replies

Recently, I've been looking into chunk trailers, due to the cold muddy water of the spring.  I hear of the "old-school" method of putting an old cut-up stickbait on the hook to prevent the chunk from being pushed towards the back of the hook and potentially blocking the hookpoint.  That makes sense... boom done!  Well, I didn't use a stickbait (I rarely fish stickbaits, I know it's sacrilegious), I used a cut up portion of a RI Sweet Beaver, cut off the tails, cut the beaver down the seam then across to make equal quarters.  This had the perfect size for my jig hook and also has the ribbed body that I'm sure add something...

 

This was a great way to use all of my old, torn Sweet Beavers that I use for T-rigs.  Maybe I'll find a use for the tails as well. 

That’s a good idea. I like adding a chunk of a bright chartreuse stick worm to add a little color flash on a black blue jig & chunk

The Just use a 3/4” piece of finesse worm. The trick with soft plastic nose hooked on a jig is a tooth pick through the end of the nose about 1/4” back then hook just behind it so it doesn’t tear off.
