My stinger hook setup for Hollow belly swimbaits

[Fish-N-Fool]

I started using this stinger setup for the hallow belly swimbaits after missing a bunch of fish while Pike fishing last year,
I use a Duo-lock snap in a fairly small size and added a size 1 treble hook to it and rigged it but sticking one of the trebles in it back. It didn't seem to hurt the action any and I did get better hookups.
Here is my setup; it's simple, and I think a good way to go. I haven't had any real problem with this so far though. This is 6" Basstrix Swimbait with the Gammy 7/0 keel weighted hook with the screw eye in front.







But it does catch alot more weeds and in some of the areas I fish it just didn't work, as all I hooked was weeds. Now I fish them with this stinger in any of the more open water and I came up with a more weedless stinger setup when I fish in the trashier stuff. It does kill the action some, but the fish still seam to bite it fine.
This stinger setup has been my little secret, but now I have decided to let the cat outa da bag. I use the trailer hook made by I think it's Eagle Claw, but I got them so long ago I forget for sure. Anyway take the rubber stuff they put in the hook eye out with a knife to open the hole up. The action of the bait much better with out it. Then I put it over the hook pointing up and rig it a as shown just like you rig the swimbait hook. Even done this way it does take away a little of the action, but not so much the fish don't still want to eat them. I fish this in the trashy water when I'm having hookup problems. This hooks slightly less fish then the treble hooked stinger setup does, but a whole lot less weeds.
