Riggings for the Hud

Post by branuss04 »

Hey guys, for those of you who rig the stinger hook with wire, I have a few ???
What size, type, what type of clips, and where do you get them. I've been using braid, but have seen people using wire and want to give it a try. Thanks

I know someone did make a rigging that you are asking for. I am sorry I cannot remember the name of the company. I have one left.
I will get back to you on this one. I will look for the name of the company. It was a all metal harness.

Not how to rig a stinger per se, but an excellent step by step guide for rigging a hud that one of our members posted a while ago. It's definitely worth it to review this if you haven't already:

All props to Fish Chris for providing it......

Cmarkfish - That would be great of you could let me know what it is. Thanks.

StockOption - Yea, i've tried FishChris's method, It's a great method don't get me wrong, obviously he knows what he is doing and it works, but I'm just looking for the wire and clamps. Thank you though.

Branus - Here is how I have mine rigged - I will include some a pic - not of the process but of the finished bait -

I used Sevenstrand Brand Duratest in 40 lb., along with Sevenstrand Crimps in size A4.

Basically make a loop from line tie eye to hook and make sure the ends meet in the middle, then crimp, then sink the hook and apply some bait glue.

Get yourself some 40lb sevenstrand wire..non coated is perferred..on the back of the package there will be a chart that will show you right sized crimp deals to use for the pound test you plan to use... then buy yourself a crimping tool...its worth to buy the ones specificly designed for it...then buy yourself a heavy duty treble hook...I perfer a number 2...some guys might feel otherwise...Im no expert but I hope that helps
