Here ya go! - the lure + the rigging. The spring loaded rigging allows the rear hook to move forward ~ 2 inches on hookset- no matter how tightly the body is gripped. See my blog for more back ground. The front stinger really works with same princple (rubber band instead of spring). 170lb 7strand stainless nylon coated leader wire-double barrel sleeves w/ double crimps. 9" Alien = 5/0 rear hook, 2/0 front stinger. 12" = 7/0 rear hook, 5/0 front stinger 6" = 2/0 rear hook, 1/0 front stinger (although I don't think it's necessary on the 6"). Stingers are optional. I highly recommend them on the 9", 12 " & 16". Haven't really rigged a 16" yet- thinking maybe 10/0 or 12/0 rear w/ a 7/0 front stinger.

Have fun

Oooops! Thanks GMG - that one was kind big. Playing w/ new camera.
