Has anyone tried this

[ChasingTales]

It came up in the Long Island forum Would a Pork rind work on any plug that has a single rear hook that is eithere dressed or not?

[Whitsend]

Dont think it could hurt, almost like a tied siwash. It has an attractive flutter to it too, I think It would. I have used it on tins with success, but nothing else.

Hell Yeah it will.

 

I proved it in 1978[my intro to saltwater,I was 14 years old] on a big daddy goo-goo eyes swimmer[remove the 4/0 treble and put on a stainless single].we used to put on either yellow or red pig and allow them to swim in the current while we held them in place.

 

worked like a charm back then.

 

have not done that in years,thanks for reminding me.will try it next spring.

 

my partner "Demon" was one of our crew that did it as well.

 

try it,,,you'll see!

Very common in the 50's ... white Uncle Josh strips, on bucktails, spoons,

"and" plugs.

As long as it doesn't effect the swimming action of the plug your going to put it on (some are different than others)I'd say go for it

[Diamondwrapper]

........as long as it doesn't get stuck on the front hook during the cast......

may I ask why you would replace the treble with a single if using the trailer? I don't have alot of experience with trailers so excuse the ignorance.

ive had some success with using a curly tail grub on the back of a crippled herring, looks real nice in the water, so i guess you could try one on a plug.

A small red bass strip on a needlefish is very, very sexy

 

You wouldn't want to put it on a rear treble because it will get tangled in the treble while fishing - now it's a glob on the rear hook and not sexy at all

It makes life easier when unhooking a fish, espically if you release them.

And the last thing you want is to try o get a treble out of a bluefishes mouth.

[mcafam]

makes sense, thanks

[chicky]

depends on what you're trying to present

on a danny, eh maybe. on a needle, sure

Bingo! Replace the rear treble of a Whopper Stopper Hellbender or the tail spinner of a Bomber Water Dog with small snap swivel. Add a pork strip to the swivel and "ACTION".
