Muskie Fishing -> General Discussion -> Reaper Tails

Dumb question ... When rigging a reaper tail on a jig, should the the tail be perpendicular to the hook, or should it be rigged so that the tail and hook are vertically aligned. Any difference?

I've always rigged mine parallel to the hook on stand up jigs, but have tried laying them flat behind swimmer heads. If you lay 'em flat, make sure that there is a slight upward curve in the body. That gives you some good tail falp as you reel in the bait. For stand-ups, keep 'em as straight as you can...right down the seem.
At least that's what I do.

Ditto Beav's answer.
I keep trying but have yet to connect on plastics.

Nip the tip off the reaper, and put a drop of super glue on the hook shank as you slide the reaper on to the hook.

I use the rig perpendicular if I want faster drop speeds and better weed cutting, and flat fishing the stones with a diamond head.[8)]
