Heddon Tiny Torpedo Modifications For Bass

I show my favorite modifications for their classic lure. How to change hooks and add a dressed treble in the rear.

Thanks from the UK mate.. just bought a Heddon Tiny Torpedo off the net... and was searching as to how to change the hooks.. thought they must unscrew but they were very tight and didnt want to force it. Then found your clip... job done.

I just started using the Baby Torpedo and noticed the hooks were losing me fish, So I did this mod while watching your video.

I’m so glad it helped!

Arbogast lures have long shank hooks made of soft steel.....always stay sharp with no sharpening....amd the opd fashioned hangers allow a better hook up....they keep the hooks inline......don't be fooled .....spooks jittetbugs. torpedoes.....hula poppers....AWESOME HOOKS....

Great video dude. I love how you did the dressing on it. I have used the tiny torpedo for years with no modifications except better hooks. I am 26 now and I have had the same one since I was 13. Great lure and there is not a day where I go out and not catch at least 1 bass with the torpedo.

Just cut the hooks off and throw some lil split rings on it then you get more movement out of the hooks so you lose less fish.

Good info, I've not thought of adding some bits to a small pre-made lure. Thanks.

I like the idea with a dress trouble did not think of that but I add split rings to mine it gives a little bit more movement of the hook and it seems like in my opinion I lose less fish

[@johnkarges8829]

I also add a split ring to replace the rear treble and just use side-cutters/dikes to cut the factory hook off and then use the split ring and add the replacement treble, bare or feather dressed.

Nice man. Good video.

[@wayned5872]

Great idea ,but trim up ur length to lessen short strikes

[@nicholaspesa696]

Sometimes I would be reeling it in the prop will sometime not spin

[@nicholaspesa696]

What size hooks

[@robertbrandywine]

#4.

[@jerrylanglois7892]

Nah, the torpedo has been around for decades and needs no '' modifications ''...from the hooks to the spinners it works just fine.

[@peterlorenzo615]

Every lure has bad hooks????.....lololo....I catch 50 a year with stock hooks....best are from Arbogast

[@peterlorenzo615]

And STOP FISHING WITH BRAID....only a fool can lose a bass due to ring/hook failure....30 pound line was not meant for bass fishing

[@Otownbassin]

Those stock hooks are shit
