These big hooks I feel are going to be a challenge to rig and get perfect. I have a feeling that the heavy hook if rigged at the end of the bill in the monel loop is going to cause too much weight forward on the bait and it is going to tumble with the front of the bait being so heavy. I have a feeling this is going to take some tweeking. I have seen another rig where the bend of the hook rides up the front of the ballyhoo and te shank is wired to the bill. I have a feeling this could be a better application. Im going to be doing some testing soon.
