I think these will work awesome offshore, have a few ideas for rigging, gonna have me some fun.

Casting them weightless is my first option, then I want to try troll it with a circle hook.
I think for adding weight the separate head with a nice 8/0 hook will work. Weight will depend if spinning or if jigging

Rigged for trolling and weightless casting

Homie · « **Reply #10 on:** December 06, 2012, 08:24:50 PM »

Isi,

With that jig head you have to have the hook come out the top...
Else it's gonna swim upside down

Thats how the guy at the tackel shop rig it..... see that why I'm here need help if the guy at the beloved tackel shop can't get it right who do you turn to...UA

I will test my sample over the weekend and report back. I think it will be a winner.

Need to get some more to try alternative rigging. With the obove rigging I did, one can simply add an egg sinker in front.

What you targeting Mike? Casting these babies into a nice shoal of YFT must be great fun...

Yes that would be great, but I am going to troll this one as rigged with no weight. I think it will be deadly for

Fritz · « **Reply #17 on:** December 06, 2012, 10:04:54 PM »

Or like this?

Hammer · « **Reply #18 on:** December 06, 2012, 11:29:49 PM »

Hi Mike, I've also got some of those oversized lures (they look like they can take batteries

). I want to try them at St Lucia at the end of December, so I'm keen to see how they work for you. Whether you trowl with them or use them on a drop shot rig. I think the results will be very interesting.
I'll be waiting with BAITED breath for the results.
Tight lines.........

That will also work.

They will also work rigged with Kona's like a charm.

I already know from using the smaller ones that they are more deadly without the bling as is and no weight. Am sure these monsters are gonna produce.

Actually I already know
