Weedless Rigging of Soft Plastics for Fishing in Grass
The basic steps are:
- Run line through lead head (point first)
- Tie line to hook
- Run hook point through nose of lure and immediately out through split belly
- Pull rest of hook gently through nose of lure turning hook 180 degrees as you go
- Use the line to pull the hook back until hook offset is seated behind nose
- Insert hook point into lure belly allowing hook point to run parallel with surface
(you need to start the hook further down so it ends up where it first matched up)
- Screw lead head into lure nose
