Location: Moses Lake, WA | A few lipless cranks for high speed trolling, roughly 7" and 5-8 ounces, some with internal rattles and all weighted a little differently. Destined for a friend in Alaska who fishes tuna in Mexico in the winter. Cast from resin using a Bondo mold.

| Nice job, how long have you used double hooks instead of treble hooks? I recentaly put them on one of my top waters and would like to know your opinion of how the hookup rate is |

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
But double hooks are stainless and rust proof. They are specifically for salt water fishing.

| I've only seen them on the mister twister super top prop. That's where I got the one for my lure and it's made of bronze but that's the only time I've ever seen them |

| I believe they are known as frog hooks. Common to saltwater lures either stainless or galvanized. There are freshwater bronze too as eagle scout mentioned. |

I don't have any experience with hookup rates since we don't have Muskies here in WA and only a very few lakes have been planted with tiger muskies. I had been scanning through various saltwater lures and noted that they were used commonly on high speed trolling tuna lures so I thought I would give them a try. I equipped the lures with pretty much anything I had lying around and figured my friend could change them out if he found them unacceptable.

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | awesome thought process on that bait. I work to tuned some of my gliders into a swimming model. Once the roll is there, just dial in the speed. A trolling bait of this weight could be a good casting product for burning....hmmmm.... |

| Nice baits Gary! VMC makes a single in line hook that might help the bait track better when hi speed trolling http://www.anglerswarehouse.com.au/product_detail.asp?productnospaces=vmc_7266_super_light_inline_single_hook_10322 |

Interesting hook, thanks for the info. I didn't even know those existed. I guess I could also add a second inline split ring that would rotate the hook 90 degrees. I have lots of those and they're cheap.

Gringo Loco thank you Gary, I'm planning on trying mine out with the double hook this summer and I'll let you know how they work for muskies, nice idea though! |
