Plastics Holding on the Hook

[macgyver]

Well I read a tip the other day about how some of the pros keep there plastics up on the hook, vs using the Glue method. Sounded like a great idea so I thought I'd pass it along They take a pieve of heavy Flourocarbon(50lb-100lb) and run it through the plastic and then through the eye of the hook. Once thats done, one of them then melts the end of the line with a lighter. They use this technique more on the 3x type baits, but said it does work on your standard plastics as well. The biggest difference is that the standard plastics won't hold up nearly as long. I read this in the Bass Times 5/05 edition. I will try it out, but must admit I don't use the 3x or Snapback brand to much. But it will probably work real well with my preferred brand of Flukes the Fin-S. Hope this works for some of you folks
