Bro Chun,

This is the one that i'm talking about. An easy way to make a weedless hooks



With such hooks, you will hook thru the whole froggy except the tail of course. The spring will be at the back of froggy.

The only setback of such hook is that the froggy will be in spinning mood when you retrieve. It's easily rectified. Just place a split shot at the shank of the hook. In such, the belly of the froggy always face down

Such manner, you can let it be weedless and easier for telan cases.

Added on August 24, 2007, 3:28 pmBTW bro Chun, the split shot to be placed after the black holder you see in the picture.

Also, this type of weedless hooks is easy to make..

Buying is kinda expensive la.. prefer DIY....

yea.. sifu rory... i've been using that type of weedless hook for my froggy lar.. i shown u before mah... but my one is wire through the froggy, and the weedless hook is danggling like a tail wan la... later see if i can take a pic and show u.. the second pic very canggih leh, how to DIY?

Added on August 24, 2007, 4:17 pmsifu rory, this is what i normally use... the weedless hook come out from buntut, sure kena if the fella going for the legs...


sometimes use this (with worm hook) with the hook point inserted into the froggy for weedless, found not so effective and spoil the froggy very fast..


This is wat u recommending me rite? but the weedless wire part very hard to go down (red arrow) as it's pressing against the back of the froggy.

Bro Chun...the last picture is what i meant.

If you notice, if wont go down/hard to go down due to the length release point(Red color arae).

Try to shorten the release point(red color area). As shown above on my post(pic), the release point is just ngam ngam only..not as lengthy as yours.

The point will be pushing against the body of the froggy thus hard to release from the hook

like that ar?



actually problem not so much on pressing down, more like the point is pushing down on the froggy back like this photo...

Added on August 24, 2007, 4:53 pmi think it can be solved if i were to use a bigger weedless hook... so the hook point will have some space before touching the back of the froggy..

Bro Chun,

It's much better now, but however it will not work as desired.

Try bending the weedless wire to be straight and then a sharp 90degree at the tip at about 3mm...

I guess that your wire could be too long ler

Thank you sifu Rory for Sound advise!! nothing like putting good advise to action... kakak..

report from K.k recce:

- put cacat frog: no take...

- change to r2s super grub! 1st take! wait... wait.. for second bubble... after 5 seconds still no bubble... then suddenly that fella jump outa the water want to do "jumping spit hook" but too bad the fella like eating the super grub so much... hook already set, become "jumping set hook"!! landed... but very the small la...less than 6" i think.. so i malas take photo fast fast unhook and release (cos hook kena near eye liao, lucky my hook already debarb)

1:0

- getting confident now... cast few more times... second take! wait wait again... but this fella swim far far into the weeds by the banks .. then i strike... knn.. kena 1 whole bunch of bush... then shake of the bushy bushy stuff... the fella still hooked on...

2:0

very small niah...



- few more cast... another take! wait somemore...then the fella do "jumping set hook" again!
also kucimiao.. then telan gau gau my grub (so nice meh... hehe) so when unhook time lots of blood... then i kasi cpr a bit in the water... release... should be ok..

3:0



- by now the super grub already sustain a lot of battle scars... so swim also cacat a bit liao... no take...
- change to different grub, after casting far far... got a very light take .. but looks like biggie... cos the water ripples quite big... wait wait again...not sure if the fella makan or not, so tarik tarik line abit... still got pull... then Strike! tak kena... so all fisherman story must end with "the big one that got away..." hehehe

3:1
