Re: Inline hooks for lures
Just think about 2nd split ring as a large eye for the hook. I would say that flexibility is better here.mazman wrote:the hook point direction isn't the only difference they also have a larger eye to allow the hook more freedom of movement and tend to have a shorter shanksavit wrote:I just add another (2nd) split ring to the lure for correct hook point direction, so I can use available usual/bait hooks.
However, I have to mention that there may be a few issues as a 2nd split ring adds length to lure hook setup:
1. 2-split rings hook setup may not be suitable for 2-hooks short lures as the hooks may catch each other due to extra length.
2. It's not a fun to add smallish 2nd split ring to small lures even with tools.

I love those outcasts. Really solid casting and a nice action. I find the paint chips are more from crashing them into bits of rock on the bottom of the beach or dinging them into the ledge i'm casting off rather than from the fish itself.
Agree entirely on the singles. 2/0 for salmon. 4/0 or 6/0 for bigger stuff depending on the size of the lure.
No reason to make it more complicated than that unless you're fishing super light for estuary species.
