Mann's Stretch Lures

I have never changed the hooks on mine. We troll 25's and 30's for striper in the ches bay and they work well. In a previous post The Hun said he switched to 5/0 hooks and some of the guys were taling about using single hooks but i have not tried this yet but i may give it a shot.

Thanks Kilowat. I may just slip on some of trebles I use for my king rigs and see how those look.

I see ya in Statesville. I used to live over in Taylorsville, Hiddenite actually, but that was long long time ago.

We use em out of OCMD on the inshore (inshore of the canyons) lumps & ditches. I typically pull 25's tied directly to 40-60# main line. Never had any problems with breakoffs.

Its my first lure in, usually the first lure hooked up. Not always the most productive lure, but I can't think of a trip without a hookup on em

The are perfect for the Jackspot- kings, blues, mahi & bonita. Yet to get a BFT on one, but I bet its possible.

Let me know how the smaller hooks work out. I have a stretch or 2 that need replacement hooks soon and may try some smaller ones. I have not had any trouble with the stripers coming unbuttoned on the bigger hooks but a dolphin or king could be a problem with the larger hooks. I am going to be in the Keys this weekend and am going to troll some of the stretches for something other than stripers for the first time. When you were in Taylorsville area did you fish Hickory any? I have been in this area all my life its just to far from saltwater.
