I never even thought to start out by threading the hook through first and then take it out and just tunnel the loop through the hole you made :O, mind blowing, thanks for that
Just subbed because you actually said how to rig something and then actually taught other people how to do it in a little over 2 minutes. I wish more TH-cam fishing videos were this good and this short. Nice job!
You're the only person who's shown a sensible method for rigging plastic baits on to a keeper-less weighted fish hook. Thank you so much for posting this.
I have been watching several longer videos of how to rig swim baits. Yours is by far the most helpful and simplest and shortest.....Thanks for a great lesson!
Great video! Gave me an idea: large 1.0 long shank hook; 1/4 inch dowel (8 inches or there about long). File off the barb on the hook, cut off the eyelet on the hook, drill matching hole same as hook size in dowel, fill hole in dowel with super glue, insert barbless hook shank, let dry/set (24 hrs); now one has a permanent hook rigging tool for their plastics.
If the old plastic is garbage just tear it off and don't worry about it if it's trash. If you want to save it you'd have to pull the hook back out and then pull the eye of the hook back through.
Jon Bollinger you can get away with 20lb test, I personally use 15 and never had an issue. That’s because I fish cleared water than usual. If I was fishing muddy water I wouldn’t hesitate to throw 20
Hate those offsets, I lose a lot of takes with them, too bad cause gamakatsu line is strong and sharp but the gap is not wide enough for me even on 1/0
Josh Jones with a weighted hook you can work a swimbait faster without it coming to the surface and you can fish it deeper in the water column. With a weightless hook you can work the soft plastic in shallow water or above weeds with no issue. 80% of the time I’m throwing a soft plastic swimbait with a weighted hook
I won't buy one without a screw lock. Never ever using weighted hooks without screw lock again. Have to re-tie the damn hook whenever the soft plastic gets destroyed since you can't exactly do this when you already have the hook tied on.
you're the ONLY "how to rig" video that actually shows ho to. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. 👍
Agreed! I can't believe how many I waded through that actually showed how to rig! Subscribed!!
Fishermen are the WORST cameramen. This guy is good
👍

Straight to the point and no b.s. Awesome video.
Thanks for watching and thank you for the feedback!
very good video...embarrassed I couldn't figure out on my own...thanks
lol agreed, I feel like i just saw somebody walk on water
You don't even want to see how I did it.
I know, Homer Simpson moment...
"DOH!" 😛
Same..I've been feeding the weight through the head of my plastics for YEARS..I can't believe this never occurred to me
Then again, I probably still will instead of re-tying every time I switch plastics. I'm lazy
Short,sweet and to the point. Well done with out the 18 minute presentation.
Excellent video. The instructions are clear and concise. I was not sure how to use the corkscrew and now I do! Thanks
Quick and simple, no filler bullshit. Quality content mate.

Easy there, Tim the Toolman
Best video of how to easily rig the swimbait. Simplifies it and makes success much more likely. Thanks.
Awesome thank you! Literally bought the same swim bait and hook for the first rig, and just saw this video! Perfect!
This is what I was searching for, all the way in youtube.. finally i got it..thanks
Dang fine video. Very helpful.
Simple and direct. Awesome, thank you.
Best video I've seen to do this . Thanks!
About to try it, don’t understand how it works with the hook hidden. I will let you know, obviously it works.
Excellent video!
Thank you super easy to follow totally appreciate it!
Thanks for the video. I have had the hardest time rigging these.
Very helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you!
Thanks, I couldn't figure out what the spring was for.
Thanks the tip on the EWG hook!
Short n sweet, very easy to understand. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you very much i like how you didn't cut vid and showed step by step
Thanks for the information and thanks even more for packaging it in such a lucid, succinct good quality video. Nicely done.
Thanks I needed to know which size hook was good for the size of swim bait
This has helped a great deal..thanks..The first one..Didn't think of it ..DOH!!
The best 'How To' vid on youtube. Thanks
Thanks for this video, I lost some fish today first time using a swim bait, now I know how to rig them.
Very good, made it easy peazy!
Great simple video. Thanks for taking the time to film and post!
That first trick is great but its going to be a little tough doing that if you have the hook tied to the line wouldn't you think?
So set up the lure first, then retie.
Or, prep all your lures in advance.
Great video the best on TH-cam on how to rig absolutely fantastic thanks for posting ALIEN
Very simple explained, great video. Thanks
Great informative video. I was making a few small mistakes but this definitely cleared it up. Thanks!
Re tie after every bait change?
sooo with the Fluke you need to re-tie the hook every time you need a new plastic?!
Best explanation I've seen, helped me thanks.
Good Job
It really helped
Can a weighted hook like this be used when the bait doesn't have that slit in the bottom?
Great demo 👍
Genius! What a smart way to rig. Thanks for the tip
Thanks for this video! Straight to the point
Nice, great illustration ...
Great
HI what is the name of those hooks. i cant find them to buy..thanks
So then every time you wana changed the bait, you gotta cut the line n re rig it😮
Great nice video. Good job!!
What’s the other hook
Finally a useful video!
Can you use those hooks for worms
Great vid. I have super toads and i have hooks without the springs and it ripped the nose of one so Thanks.
Damnnn awesome vid bro
Excellent. Just the vid I needed.
How would you use these swimbaits for fluke off a party boat?
I would be personally using a bucktail jig and have a swimbait as a teaser about 12-18 inches above it
Hell yes! Thanks for making this vid man.
What is name of the hook? :D
what is the weight on the 5/0 screw hook?
1/4 oz it's perfect for the 4.8 inch Keitech. www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lazer_Trokar_Magnum_Weighted_Swimbait_Hook/descpage-LTMSBHK.html
thanks
hi thanks for the video, do you use this type hook over the Berkley style jigs or TTs
Ok so the one without the screw lock what are you supposed to do when you need to put a new plastic on?
If the old plastic is garbage just tear it off and don't worry about it if it's trash. If you want to save it you'd have to pull the hook back out and then pull the eye of the hook back through.
What size hook did you use on the fluke?
5murf Sti 3/0 Gamamatsu
Gamakatsu***
Great info thanks so much!
I never can remember this step rigging the weighted swimbait 0:35. Pushing through the bottom.
So how do you hook on the first bait after you have already tied the line on?
cut off the line, hook it up, tie the line again.
Thanks! Superior video!
How do you fish these weighted hooks? Do you just cast and work them back like a swim jig?
Alex Daszek Yup! Just cast and reel!
Just watched a video about the trokars.. guy said use 20lb or higher test line with those hooks.. seems excessive to me.. thoughts?
Jon Bollinger you can get away with 20lb test, I personally use 15 and never had an issue. That’s because I fish cleared water than usual. If I was fishing muddy water I wouldn’t hesitate to throw 20
Great video 👏👏👏 Let you know this weekend how it works out for me 👍
You sir are a genius
Very good video. Thanks for sharing.
thanks,I thought I had to get cork springs.
Very informative video.
Can you use either hook set up for both baits?
Jack Woodlee yes you can if you'd like to
Great lures to catch snook at night?
Hate those offsets, I lose a lot of takes with them, too bad cause gamakatsu line is strong and sharp but the gap is not wide enough for me even on 1/0
Solid video. Thanks.
