Hi Ifishalot - how long is this section of fluro you are running to set hooks in the claws, I'd imagine it's only 2-4cm max for that strikepro plastic? What weight fluro do you run and any issues with these "stinger" hooks easily breaking due to the extremely short line length?IFISHALOT wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 9:09 amHi Sebb,Sebb wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 9:35 pmI used this before and definitely attractive to bream. But often I got tapped and often no hookup, only to find it back with missing claw(s) and/or legs.IFISHALOT wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 9:24 pmHi Mate,wem21 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 4:34 pmwould size 2 hooks go well on the crabs ?IFISHALOT wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 4:01 amStrike Pro Enticer Crabs work well.

Mind you I did design it.
They are Neutral bouyant, Scent infused and you fish them the same as the Cranka.
We do a range of Jigheads for the Crabs and they are Size 4
They are a shorter Shank also so they fit the Crab perfectly.

Bream seems love to disarm crabs before commit to eat the whole thing. And usually after they get a taste of the plastic piece, they dont come back for second.
Any tips to convert 'disarm bites' to a hookup?
Run a small section of Fluorocarbon from the eye of the Jighead with a single stinger hook in each claw does the trick!

Just over 1cm of 10lb into a Daiichi 2171-B Size 6, had no issues with breakages, just make sure of good knots
