In this video Jeff Hanson with Madison Musky Guide Service drops by the shop to give a little crank bait tip and then talks about the importance of and how to T the hooks on a crank.
Right on! I just had some of your TRO phantoms delivered this week. Wondering If you T your thrillers and phantom soft tails? Do you bother ting the back hook on crank baits? Thanks
I don't typically T the hooks on a Phantom. On the 10" Suicks I will do it. There is no need to T the hooks on the back of any bait in my opinion. Thanks for watching and good luck fishing.
Right on. Does anyone sell t’d hooks out of the package? Maybe the hooks would be stronger from the factory instead of bending them after the fact?? Tight lines!
Of the 3 hooks on a treble, two are connected as one piece and the third is welded on (or something of the sort) individually. I hear it is better to T the connected hooks, because bending the separate hook could weaken the weld resulting in a break off. I'm interested in your thoughts on this.
You're correct in your assumption. Assuming the weld is solid it shouldn't be a major issue. Not all welds are though. In a perfect world you'd put them on so you'd only T the non welded 3rd barb. Thanks for watching
