Tying stingers

[youngfisherman]

Hey guys

How do you tie a stinger to your plastic?

Alot of people are using these nowadays and it's something I want to start using just have no idea how to tie them?

Thanks in advance.

Do a search and you should find pics of how I rig mine with sandworms. Very successful method.

Mate i guess i can depend on what plastics you plan on using a stinger on. When i have used a stinger in the past, not for a long time mind you, all i did was tie a strip of leader to the jig head and a small sharp hook or treble to the other end and just have it hanging loose with the hook right at the tail end, otherwise having the hook point through the tail end as shown in the pic on that thread. I have found this has worked well with worm plastics ect. I just use any regular knot (Uni knot) to tie the stinger.

At about 5mins 30secs there is a bit on stingers but the whole vid is worth watching.

Awesome! Cheers for posting Chris

No worries guys.
I'm thinking of giving this a go one time. I fish pink grubs the usual wormhook way and miss a fair amount of hook ups due to short strikes. This way seems a lot more fiddly but hopefully results in more fish

Looks like a great idea.
I guess you could also just thread your leader through the grub and tie the hook straight to it and feed the shank back into the lure. Don't see why that wouldn't work.

So true, fixing up your worm hook after every fish sucks aswell. This will help so much, can't wait to try it. The red braid looks like it's bleeding aswell
