Great demonstration. I have done similar modifications to Blue Fox lures with squid skirts to make deadly lures for summer steelhead. I hadn’t considered hollow lead. It is a less expensive option than tungsten and lead bullet weights which I have used. Thanks.

[@joeladams4779]

Great demo.

[@MRotchburns420]

Frickin genius

[@looksomewherein]

Pretty smart gonna have too try this on a size 3 thanks

I also use tungsten worm weights, but replace both the spacer and the ringer so I can use the largest possible worm weight. The bottom edge of the worm weight becomes the ringer, it rings the bell well with tungsten (whereas lead worm weights are to soft to ring the bell). Cabelas regularly has tungsten worm weights on sale. When you weigh the standard Blue Fox (even with the treble hook) it is lighter that stated on the packaging. Using tungsten really gets them down for salmon in frog water, but where the flow picks up they will still ride pretty high as the bell has so much surface area. I build some without the bell (just use a lead worm weight or squid jig body instead) to get down in higher flows.

[@elkhunter6746]

I like that idea will definitely try it.

[@KMeiBirk]

imma get the materials when i got then money for it also i occasionally tie maribou to the siwash hooks to helps add a tiny bit more flow and since its soft the hold a bit better and gives you a split second more time cause the sharp teeth get trapped in the maribou on occasion

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

No doubt a great way to add a little extra

[@KMeiBirk]

i tried doing a challenge to see what would get more cause i got bored this morning and my buddy caught six salmon and i got two steelhead and a couple of coho and two monstrous chinook while we trolled them out die the mouth of my favorite river@@HolyMolyOutdoors

[@lucasjedwards]

What brand are your round nose pliers? I really like how they have that large flat area to help hold while wrapping the wire, I can't find any others like it.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and the support! Let me look and see if I can find the brand. I cannot remember if it was off Amazon or not

[@lake_st_clair_angler3312]

I'd love to see a follow up on a scale to see before and after weights

[@elkhunter6746]

I just use .030 308 stainless steel welding wire 0r .035 both work good and it's a lot cheaper for a spool. I use it for many fishing tricks. Works good for buzzboms as well

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching and the support

[@charlescook94]

I also put in 1/4 finesse weight in the bells to make them sink for deep coho fishing myself

[@pnwfishingkid5123]

Try it with some tungsten bullet weights, they get down quick and stay down!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Great idea!! I’ll have to try that too

[@concretepoets2158]

run a 5/8oz in line weight with swiveled ends and a 3' leader. No line twist, gets down there.

[@krisjellesed7069]

I use bullet weights when I rebuild mine. Only on blue fox spinners I find. I never buy those things. They sail too much.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

I could see the bullet weight working well too!

[@kahuna13135]

Where do u purchase the wire 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

I’ll update the description with all the links here this evening. But I’ve been able to find the wire typically at all my local shops

[@bobgomavitz1330]

So what, about 1 gram heavier with the 3/8’s? Or did you not weight it?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

I’ll grab a true weight here and let you know

[@oriondool1525]

Just buy a blue fox bullet ding dong

"In WA State you cant use trebles" is a false statement. Too many people are spreading this false information without reading the rules.The freshwater regs say 'Barbed or barbless hooks may be used, and a hook may be single-point, double, or treble. Single-point barbless hooks are required in areas designated as "fly fishing only" or "selective gear rules."'

[@brianjohnston4207]

Except under the anti-snagging gear rules treble hooks can only be used on a non-bouyant lure. A Blue Fox with a treble hook would be illegal under the anti-snagging gear rules. As I understand this rule isn't in effect on every river where Salmon and Steelhead fisheries are held. I prefer single point hooks personally but you are correct to point out that making the blanket statement that treble hooks are illegal everywhere is not right. Everyone needs to carefully read the regs and I suggest everyone refer to the regs and not take the word of anyone on KZbin. The selective gear

[@Vityasviri]

@@brianjohnston4207 thanks for the additional info! You are absolutely right. 👍🏼

[@guyh.4553]

That is not correct. There are places that you can't use treble. He should know because he's in WA. If I remember correctly, all marine areas are required to use single point barbless. If you are going for any anadromous species, you are required to make the hooks barbless. Don't guess, read the regs.

[@ronyewest]

Those spinners suck. Expensive junk

[@guyh.4553]

Sorry, I watched it to the end but still didn’t get the purpose. I like your content and try to watch regularly. By completely tearing apart a Blue Fox, youve totally ruined its design purpose. If you’re not getting the depth you want, put on some type of sinker to get your lure down and be noisy in the deep. Dont that before, works wonders. And save $$$ on buying all that tackle craft material.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

I wanted to show this based on a subscriber suggestion. Mainly to show that there are ways to modify and fish things better. But to your point you can absolutely have a weight ahead of them and not hassle with any cutting. Thanks for watching
