Hey all, Could anyone possible advise me on what size Double treble stinger rigs, and what size treble hooks, for a 15. 17 and 18 cm softbait lure.
Never really used lures of this size before and want to avoid any potential mishap so need to make sure im using the right length stingers with right sized hooks.
Hoping someone could help.
Thankyou

When you say ‘double trebles’ are you meaning a two treble harness as the only hooks on the lure, such as this https://www.millviewfishingtackle.c...age-ti-pro-wire-lure-harnesses-all-sizes.html
This advert gives the hook size on the Fox versions and can be easilly replicated to suit your needo. Note that ‘fatter’ profiled lures may need a hook the next size up to be effective.
A single hook is preferable to avoid complicated hook ups and should be approximately half way down the lure to maintain good tail action of the lure. If you are using the lure near the river / lake / canal bed the hooks can be mounted on top of the lure to avoid snagging up.
