Please advise where can i bu6 the lure head or do u make them yourself? Any advice on the type of resins you used for the lure head?

[@arkdiver4824]

Is the hook legal hanging out past the skirt? Awesome vids bro❤

[@wireman_custom_lures]

Thank you! Yes as long as the eye of the hook is inside the skirt the Hookset is igfa legal

Very good tutorial, have you only use single hook rigs? I've run Schneider lurs with double hook sets. trailing hook down forward hook 90 degrees to the side. Opinion?

[@wireman_custom_lures]

Yes I’ve always run single hooksets. On all keel weighted lures I run the hooks facing down and non keel weighted lures, including bullets, hard heads, cupped face lures with the hook facing up with some exceptions like Niiyama lures I’ll run the hook point down as well since they’re so well keel weighted. It’s whatever works for you man. That style of hookset works well for a lot of people. For me single hooksets have the best hook up ratio especially with a fully stiff hookset. It’s worth a try if you’re looking to use a new hookset style.

@@wireman_custom_lures I have been thinking of going back to single hooks, due to the fact that some of the bigger wahoo have twisted the hook closer to the head and lost the fish.

[@wireman_custom_lures]

@@jeffreyvanderklip6769 are you heat shrinking the full hookset? Another benefit to a single hookset with full heat shrink is that the hook doesn’t move around and if a fish comes up and whacks the lure the hook doesn’t swing around and get stuck around the leader or the lure. Before when I used to heat shrink just the crimp and hook I’ve had many occasions where fish whacks the lure doesn’t try and eat the first time and the hook gets wrapped around the leader in front of the lure and then no hook up.

@@wireman_custom_lures yup, that has happened to me also. I used colored electrical tape. You have to realizes I'm old school (74) lol and I've started to rethink some stuff. I'll dig up a stainless-steel bar and send you a pic on how I was taught. I keeps the hooks 90 degrees to each other. However, a big marlin can roll both hooks and never hook up.
