Westie i thread the jighead through backwards so it comes out just below the groove in the top of the belly and then give a half twist and pierce the hook out the front.
These things are super tough and stretchy so you may need to give a little force to slide that plastic up onto the jighead.
Don't mix them with other plastics......they don't mix well just do a melt down to a goo substance.

Hi guy’s.
For flathead I run a small ball sinker or the bullet weights that get supplied with the bigger snapbacks (I use the next size down for flatties, 3 inch?!?) above a swivel and then have a trace of about 4-500mm (16-20 inches for you older buggers) onto an owner hook. Because these babies are somewhat buoyant, the just stay above the sand/mud/rock/gravel bottom. I’ve found them great across sand-flats. I use the same set-up for jack but shorten the trace to 2-300mm. Agnes Jack put me onto “sticky weight” which is awesome for surface/just below surface snapback use. I fish the smaller snapbacks straight from the leader without a sinker, then put a bit of sticky weight on the eye of the hook or shank, just enough to make it run below the surface. If you want it to run deeper/shallower you adjust they amount of sticky weight.

Gotta love these buggers.

Sounds bl**dy great to me Westie ;D

However forget the sustagen, Hot Milo would go better with the Lammies ;)

Apart from the hoy and the bingo and the exercises, and add at least 5-6 hours fishing sounds like a top day ;D

[westie]

5-6 hours of fishing is that with or without Granny Nap Time included, if not then you need to take me to a hot spot to keep me from falling asleep
